My Family ..Gibson family ..were from Hebburn ..and my grandfather married Emma Tate (my Grandmother) who's family were managers at Hebburn pit . I can see that two of the Gibson family lost there lives here and wondered if they were related to my Grandfather Samuel Weatherall Gibson who ran a shop in Jarrow .Grandfather Married Emma Tate , who's family were pit managers at Hebburn . Reading this and the way lives were lost is so upsetting , the suffering people had to endure back then . |
