Am I right in assuming that this was Tees St renamed as the family lived in Tees St for many years and it backs onto Wear St. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Hi Ian, There were three 'back streets' in that area which were renamed. Tweed Street, [between Nicholson St./Cousin St. and Lawrence St.], Tees Street [between Lawrence St. and Wear St.], and Tyne Street [between Wear St. and Woodbine St]. So 27 Back of Wear St. would be either Tees St. or Tyne St. Regards Stan Mapstone www.mapstone.org
