While doing some family history research I randomly came across this from a Sunderland newspaper in 1935
The reason I was looking at the newspaper was the article next to it about my relative who killed her common law husband with a cobbler's knife. The story was handed down but my grandma always whispered when she talked about it. And crossed the road to avoid the woman if she saw her.Good street name though, should be safe :-)
I found that Mrs MQ g.grandparents had a knife fight after he (and a mate) went round to see her after she found out he'd been previously married. She ended up pulling a knife on him and he got send down for a few months. For some reason, that hadn't been handed down in the family stories :-).
