Thomas Blythe
Tommy owned Birtley Bricks, the bricks were stamped BBB, he lived in Dinsdale House, Burnthouse Lane, Whickham. There are brick pillars on the opposite side of the lane where his garden gate was, steps led to this gate and there were owls on each, the garden which was behind the gate is no longer there. He was a very jolly fellow and well liked in the neighbourhood.

Tommy was my great grandfather who married Elizabeth Swinburne. He claimed to have been born in Rockcliffe, Cumberland. Do you know any more about his background?

Thomas Blythe was my great grandfather. My grandmother was his daughter. Her name was Elizabeth and she married William Cavanagh.
