Latter Day Saints.

Nothing to do with Hebburn. My partner's 2nd great-grandfather was born in Lowestoft 1829 and married in 1850 St Hilda's Church, South Shields. Apparently at the time there was a big following of LDS's here then. Well the 2nd great-grandfather converted to the LDS's and was baptised in the River Tyne at Fish Quay Sands, North Shields. I don't think I would of liked being dipped in the river.

There are quite a few LDS Mormon Churches around the North East Thomas including one in North Shields. The one in South Shields is beside the Hospital (McAnnany Ave') but I cant remember seeing it.

Bet the Tyne was a lot cleaner then Thomas, even in the eighties nineties salmon were often seen, (probably never caught) .
