Connecting With The Past
My father, born in 1906, was educated in an orphanage in South Shields from about 1916 to 1922. The orphanage was operated by the Sisters of Charity. I would like to visit the South Shields area this summer from the USA. Does anyone have information on the location of the orphanage or other pertinent information that I would find helpful?
