I came across this advertisement when I was doing the Evening Chronicle death notice look ups. It was in the paper on 5th February 1890.

Johnson, 96, High Street, Gateshead, on Saturday, the 9th of February, between 1 p.m. and 5 P.M., for the purpose of furnishing information and selecting suitable applicants for free and assisted passages.

Reposting messages sent to the list yesterday which didn't appear. Hi Everyone, I have sent out all of the Evening Chronicle Death notices I found for people, if you haven't received the notices you asked for please contact me as soon as possible as I plan to delete them from the camera and the sent items box.
