Raymond Todd - I wonder if we are related? I have recently researched my family tree and as far as i know my Great Grandfather was a George William Todd born in John Street 1872. My Grandmother on my mothers side was born in Pottery Street 1923. Do you have any other photos of Pottery street or anywhere nearby? I am putting together a collection for her. 05/01/2007 08:30:43

I"M LOOKING FOR A MAP OR ANY INFORMATION ABOUT HENRIETTA STREET, THORNABY OB TEES. IT WAS KNOCKED DOWN FOR A MOTORWAY. MY FATHER AND HIS FAMILY LIVED THERE. MY FATHER WAS BORN IN HENRIETTA STREET IN 1920. 15/10/2007 08:26:59

Lesley Targett (nee Heselwood)

Pauline, Henrietta Street ran between Gilmour Street and George Street. It was next to Georgiana Street, where my family were from and Francis Street. I have recently purchased an old map of Thornaby (1897). It is an "Alan Godfrey" map. The reference is 50.16. 15/10/2007 10:51:12

Colin Booth

Hi Lesley, My father lived in Georgiana St, on the east side about half way. Grandma Booth lived there until she died at the ripe old age of 90 that would have been around 1957. I have seen their name in an electoral roll from the early 1900"s 17/10/2007 11:42:59

Hi Colin. Your Grandma probably knew my family. They were called MOORE. My mum, Mary Louisa MOORE was born there. She was the eldest of 7. I will ask her if she remembers your family. 18/10/2007 09:01:53

Lesley Targett (nee Heselwood)

Hi Colin I spoke to my mum last night. She remembers stories about the BOOTH family. Her Grandmother Mary Louisa PERKIN lived in Georgiana Street at no 33. That"s where my mum was born. 18/10/2007 11:16:54

Does anyone know if there are Nolans or Cowens on this photograph? The Nolan family definitely lived in Spring St at this time, my great grandparents Martin and Frances had a large family, most of whom were born in the street. 14/11/2007 14:18:36

Angela Smith

Does anyone know if any of the men are Aithwaite"s? My grandfathers family lived at 20 Spring Street and 2 of their sons are listed on the ww1 memorial. The man 4th from left looks alot like my grandfather so maybe they are related. 14/09/2008 19:48:56

I know my nana lived in Stockton and Thornaby and I am sure I have heard of Spring Street. Her maiden name was Cowan, her first married name Edmundson then, after becoming a WW1 widow, she married my grandad John Thompson of the big Thompson family of Thornaby. I know he was an ARP in the second world war. I have a long ifininty with Thornaby, my husband was born there in St Leonards street(does anyone have a pic of St Leonards street?) and both my maternal and paternal families came from/lived in Thornaby. 25/01/2009 23:38:03

Spring Street was replaced with new houses in the late 60s, it is now called spring close. I know a lot of street names in Thornaby as I was born here and still live in Thornaby. My cousin married into the Thompson family and my aunt Sarah nee Chaney married a Thomas Henry Cowen, old spelling Cowan. 26/01/2009 21:37:36

I asked my dad, Robert Aithwaite if he knew any Aithwaites from Spring Street. He said he did and he new the Hagans. He said he had a uncle Matt Aithwaite who died outside the cinema in Stockton of a heart attack. I dont know if thats the same one but he said my uncle John Aithwaite has got loads of photos from Spring Street 10/03/2009 17:42:36

Matt Aithwaite was my Grandad's brother, I also have a photo of John aithwaite at my grandad's house in the 80's. Not many pics of the Aithwaite clan survive, I would love to see any old pics of the family. 06/06/2009 20:06:39

My grandparents lived in Francis Street in 1911, they were the MURRAY family. My grandfather was Fred Murray and my mother was Sarah Ann Murray. Does anybody remember them, or can anybody tell me if Francis Street is still there? They lived at 24 Francis street.25/09/2009 15:51:13

John Richards

I am also looking for details, maps etc of Henrietta Street. My great great grandfather George Thornborrow was living there in 1881. His occupation is listed as Iron Founder. Would anybody know of a local foundry there?07/03/2010 08:51:00

George Clement

In response to the question from John Richards concerning Henrietta Street; On the 1897 Map of Stockton-on-Tees & Thornaby Henrietta Street is shown in Thornaby-on-Tees. A copy of the map can be bought from the Alan Godfrey map website. The map also shows the Bonlea Foundry next to Thornaby Station. It would have been a short walk from Henrietta Street. Others on this site have also commented about Henrietta Street, stating that it has been demolished to make way for the new road system.08/03/2010 18:55:35
