New member Gordon Brown

[Gordon]

Hi – I’m Gordon Brown, born on Gordon St in 1958 but grew up elsewhere. The Browns were well known around the harbour area, my Grandparents lived on Ladbroke St.
I have a large number of old photographs and will add an album over the next few months which people may find interesting with many local people identified and named.
........... PHOTO'S IN THE ALBUMS LINK ABOVE...................
My Grandfather was a Plasterer and there are a number of work related pics of the area, his father was a fisherman like many from Amble.
My Grandmother's maiden name was Smailes and a number of her siblings emigrated to Ogema in Canada who I would love to hear from.
Have the family tree on Findmypast and Ancestry with over 2000 people, am busy checking it for accuracy.

Hi Gordon, welcome to the forum, very nice photos, Tait's motorbike is something else!

My Grandfather was a Plasterer

I noticed today in an area of my house I'm redecorating, a tiny impressed stamp, in the original plaster, of someone's name. I assume the plasterer?

House in Bede Street built 1886. I'm looking for more impressed names now. House might record a number of 1886 Amble plasterers!

That family tree you've posted in the album, if you email it to me I'll stick it on its own page so it is readable: [removed]

[edit see post #18]

I assume the Adam Brown KIA WW1 is the Grenadier Guardsman from Gordon Street?
