Research Notes
Two possible birth registrations in South Shields - Robert Reah b 1853 mother's LNAB Weightman[7] and Robert Fairlamb Reah b1854 mother's LNAB Mitchell[8]. Given middle name of eldest daughter was 'Weightman, the 1853 b seems more likely, and if so, Robert's middle name is wrong. Humphrey-6461 07:24, 26 December 2023 (UTC)
