Hello Victoria I wonder if you have the correct spelling HOOSON sounds to me very like the much more common Tyneside name HEWISON. There is a John HEWISON registered in Gateshead June 1894 10a 978 Do you have the marriage documents and the birth certificate for Joan HOOSON with the spelling like that?
