Hartlepool

A Memory of Hartlepool.

I am trying to find any info on my grandmother, Frances E Robson who was born in Hartlepool 1894. Her mother was Mary Robson born 1874 and her mother was Elizabeth Frances Robson born 1842. Her husband was William Robson. They lived at numorous addresses being Hermit Street and Temperance Street - both streets are no longer there in the Headlands. I am trying to find out where these streets were - can anyone help me, as I would love to visit these places? I know Temperance Terrace still exsists. My great grandmother Mary also worked at an egg warehouse around 1911 - does anyone where this could have been? Also, does anyone know of a factory that made cosmetics or soap or anything like that - the business could have been called Fields. Or does anyone know of a family called Fields - they were a well to do family who would have lived in a big posh house with servants - possibly in Scotch Corner - but the business was in Hartlepool. Any help would be very much appreciated. Thankyou.

Still searching for information on the Robson family. Maybe someone knew of William H Robson born 1871 dont know who he married he was son of william and frances elizabeth Robson. His sister Mary born around 1872/74 was a servant for a "Fields Family around 1893 , but I dont know where. She gave birth to a illegitimate child and the Fields Master or "Son was the father. My great grandmother Mary would have had to travel somwhere to be a servant in a big house but again dont know where. Does anyone have any tips for me how far would a young girl travel in 1893 to find work.
I am also trying to find out if there was such a place or company that made soap or cosmetics in or around Hartlepool The company could have been called Fields..Any help would be appreciated. Or are you a Robson.. or possibly a Fields, by the way these Fields are the very well to do Fields of America.
