Thankyou Evie,
I know nothing about them at all other than they are buried with my great grandmother,and their admission to the work house,they may be totaly unrelated to my family,and the connection may only be that they all died in the work house,Gillian

Thankyou ladies my greatgrandmother was called Annie Riddle and she died in the workhouse in 1933,the grave is a public one and has not been purchased ,its not to far from where Annie lived in North Street North Shields as I walked there myself recently,I am going up again in a couple of weeks to tidy the grave again,it was just a shock to find two other people there that I cant find a connection to,Annies sister married a Carl August Johnson in Tynemouth but I havnt found any brothers or sisters for him either,thanks Gillian
