THAT's the photo I was refering to: And that baby mentioned in the script is My Mam! Born 2nd Dec 1918, in Cowpen Bewley, Stockton. She was Isabel Lavery, Her mother died giving birth, and her father took her to Hebburn on 20th Dec 1918, and handed her over to the Kirtley family (of 44 Arthur Street) to be raised. She was then known as Nancy Kirtley.
There is more to this story, and a bit of a mystery, but I won't bore you all with that!
