Maybe in the Long bar in Newcastle on Tyne. I believe her son will be around 52 years old. If anyone can help I would be more than grateful any piece of info she or he can give me would be great. I cannot pinpoint exactly where he was born and I am sure if by chance this lady is still living she would be able to help me maybe hunt down some of his relatives. His name was Edward Bowery and he was living in Byker in Newcastle at the time of his death. Thanks in anticipation Maureen
