Patrick Byrne, the father of them all even had time to run a successful business. The family owned most of the houses in what was then known as St James Square, not far from where Gateshead Stadium Metro is today. The girls worked for their father and never married - until he died in 1914. I met three of the daughters in the 1950s. They were stunning.
