Trying to help a colleague from work with her ancestry, so any help, pointers or advice would be very much appreciated. Anyone come across a John George GARTHWAITE? I understand he was born in Bolton (don't have a date as yet), although he was married in Sunderland, Co Durham to Emily LORD on 14 April 1888 at Christ Church, Bishopwearmouth. Emily's father was George LORD b1829 Sunderland. His occupation was a shipbroker and accountant. At the time of her marriage, she was living at Willow Brook Villa, Bishopwearmouth (Sunderland). Anyone heard of Willow Brook Villa? I know there is a Willow Brook Road in Ashbrooke, Sunderland (it's next to St Aidan's RC School). As we've just started out of this line of research, thought we'd check first to see if anyone has any LORD or GARTHWAITE connections (with or without and 'e' on the end!). Kind regards... David Allan (Sunderland).
