According to "Sunderland's Blitz" it was not 10 Azelia Avenue, it was 10 Azelia Terrace South.

I think this is the right Azalea Avenue (Sunderland being such a large place, and not having a first hand knowledge of the area) If it is, then it was bombed on 16th May, 1943 along with numbers 10 and 12. There is an article about the raid on this web page http://www.bpears.org.uk/NE-Diary/Inc/ISeq_33.html (This site is worth a browse through) The names of the residents that lost their lives during this raid can be found on the GENUKI page "Civilian War Dead Roll Of Honour", for Northumberland, Durham and Yorkshire, compiled by Brian Pears. http://www.genuki.org.uk/big/eng/Indexes/NE_WarDead/index.html At number 10 - Jean Marian SUFFIELD, age 15, Lucy SUFFIELD, age 51 At number 12 - Elsie Gertrude SALTER, age 55 and Leonard Jeffries SALTER, aged 80 Best regards Heather Carbis Online Parish Clerk for Morvah Cornwall http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~morvah Visit my Family Tree's at GOODWIN and GORDON http://heatherac.tribalpages.com CARBIS SPARROW ATTWOOLL http://carbissparrow.tribalpages.com JOLLIFFE MOULAND http://jolliffemouland.tribalpages.com -----Original Message----- From: Bruce Dodd <bmdodd@rogers.com> To: ENG-DUR-SUNDERLAND@rootsweb.com Sent: Sun, 29 Nov 2009 3:26 Subject: [ENG-DUR-SUNDERLAND] Sunderland Nursing Homes - Maybe? 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?
