AUCTIONMAN1803

I am trying to trace my family tree but am stuck on my nans side.

Her name was Florence May Sawyer born 12/06/1919 in Bedlington.

Her mum was called Annie Graves and she had the following siblings>>

Robert

William (married Emma and had these kids> Tommy, Joan, Barbara, Dougie and Patricia)

George (may have moved to Birmingham)

Emma

John (marreid Olive and had these kids > John and a girl whose name my dad cant remember.)

Some were called Graves some Sawyer - not sure why maybe second marriage.

My nan married a guy called George Falloon and they adopted a boy called Edward, however in the late 40's early 50's they divorced and my nan moved here to Rotherham, met my grandad Sam Spittle and they had my dad Pete in 1954.

Does any of this ring a bell with anyone? I would love to get some answers

William married Ethel not Emma...My mother who married Goerge Falloon did not get divorced until the 70's and that was in Rotherham..there was also a sibling called Tom Graves who was the eldest..I have been in contact with Edward and his son on facebook ,they live in Morpeth

Can't help you there mate, can't say Shiny Row rings any bells with me. Can any of the more 'mature' forum members elucidate?
