jo is there anyone with benjamin ie wife or kids ?

[grangers14]

No family with him Peter and it also says George Grainger a friend.
I did notice below the name a William Blakey 31 a miner, from Spennymoor too, was also going to stay with George Grainger. His next of kin was wife, Mary E Blake, pressume it must be Blakey? He was living, 177 Jackson Street.
I'll just look for 1911
