A large collection of photos has been found in a loft and the house owner is trying to reunite with the Cullercoats family. Any ideas?

There seem to be a lot of errors in that article.

There's a will for Alfred proved in 1977. I couldn't establish which birth they had for Ann Curry, but if she married it might be difficult to find her. The will could help with that.

Alfred's wife only outlived him by a few days and there's an entry in the probate calendar for her too giving her name as Mary Barratt Curry. The death reg for Mary Barret Curry gives the date of birth on Mary Gibbon's birth cert.

I just noticed Mary's probate entry mentions a will but Alfred's is just an administration.

I forgot to say the article says Alfred married Margaret when his wife was Mary!

I've emailed the paper suggesting someone gets a copy of Mary's will.

That makes a lot of sense Merry. Well done.
