Grandma
My grandma Annie Moody lived in Amble as a child. She was born in 1897 but I think they lived somewhere else first, but she and her parents are on the 1901 cencus as living in Amble. My mother (her daughter) Mary Maddison nee Stewart has many happy memories of visiting her granny and grandad there too. Before 1966 when I and my family lived up north at Seghill we took our summer holidays at a caravan park in Amble and I have happy memories of being there. Since 1966 I have lived in Stoke-on-Trent and have only visited Amble once in that time. Now at the age of 48 I'm looking into my past and hope to soon come to visit Amble again with my husband and children to show them a little of my heritage. I hope they like Amble as much as I did. If anyone has any information about my Amble relatives I would love to hear it. My great-grandfather was named Thomas Moody and he was a miner, his wife was named Ellen. They had two other children besides my grandma; they were a son also called Thomas and a daughter called Elizabeth. Joyce Powell

RE: RE: Grandma
I was born in Amble in 1950. Before I was married my name was Patricia Lynne Moody. My father was Eric Moody and his mother was Annie Moody. She later lived at Wheatslade Crescent near Newcastle. I used to visit her with my Auntie Bet, nee Elizabeth Moody. I was bridesmaid to one of Annie's daughters, it could have been Mary, I can't remember, but I do still have photographs. I would be very interested to here from anyone on this family.

RE: RE: Grandma
My mother was born in Amble in 1922 - Evelyn Crackett - and she had two brothers named George and Sydney. Sadly they are all gone now. My mother married John Ormston from Broomhill but I don't know anything about him other than his mother died in 1958 when I was a year old,I would love to know if anyone knows her name. He also had a sister, Mary Stewart, who was still living in Broomhill in the 1970s. I spent every summer until I was 16 in Amble at my Grannie's house on the corner of Church Street. I would love to hear from anyone who knew my family.
