Hi, Listers: A Lister sent me recently a brief printed bio of my grandfather which mentioned that he had died (in 1925) at 14 Azalia Avenue. I was surprised, for he had lived for many years on Ashbrooke Terrace. I have since noticed that another relative in my database was born three months later "at a Nursing Home at 14 Azalia Ave." Aha! A nursing home! Penny drops. My other grandmother died, according to The Echo's notice, at 18 Maud St., Fulwell, Sunderland - not her regular address. One of her sisters-in-law died at the same address. Could that, too, have been a nursing home of some sort? Can any Lister shed light on either of those addresses, please? And should I have been able to find out for myself on the web, without bothering the Listers? If so, how, please? Bruce Dodd, Ottawa, ON
