Thanks again friends for your family memories. Maggie, I dont think great grandad had to move much for his work as a marine engine fitter in Newcastle. Most of his addresses were in the Byker area and he once moved just a few houses down the road! |

My parents rented 2 rooms in the 50's & 60's also sharing a toilet with the family downstairs, this was in Dalston,Hackney. Poor times then, we never had a bathroom till 1967 once we moved. |

When I was a toddler in the 50s my parents lodged in 2 rooms of a house in London. One living room cum bedroom and a small kitchenette. |

If he was a marine engineer he would have moved to where the work was. |

Many thanks for your thoughts and suggestions.I have ancestors who moved around the country for work but I was more interested in my great grand dad from Newcastle upon Tyne. |
