These terraced houses were built south of the tramway on the land of West End House and just north of the Stockport Hospital. The family lived in a three bed roomed terrace house in what is now described as a 'popular residential area of Stockton'. Average house prices in Edward Street were £69000 in 2011.

| Ewbank Street has been demolished to be replaced by the modern houses of Ewbank Drive,
built on the old road footprint.
Tarring Street, built since the 1899 survey on land known as West End Gardens, runs parallel to Ewbank Street/Drive. It is assumed that the Race/Moore family lived in a similar property. The average price for a two bed roomed (3.4m x 3m and 3.6m x 2.6m) house in Tarring Street, with bath room, lounge (4m x 3.4m), dining room (3.6m x 3.2m) and kitchen (3m x 1.5m), is £56 500 (2011).

Modern Ewbank Drive, has been replaced by red brick bungalows and terraced houses. Side road are built on the historical footprint. The 1899 map of Stockton shows that the development around Ewbank Street backed up to the North Eastern Railway's Eaglescliff to North Stockton line. Behind Ewbank Street, were the allotment of West End Gardens, where the post 1899 Tarring Street was built. |
 |
|
In 1899, to the south of Ewbank Street were two large houses, their garden and gate '
lodges'. It is assumed that this area was also developed at a similar time.
To the west of the railway, some development had taken place but this was still an area of open park, tennis courts, band stand, walk ways and ponds donated by the Ropner family. Right: Ewbank Road, Stockton 2011. Number 16 is thought to be where the bungalows now stand. |

Click on the map to open an A4 landscape map of Stockton from railway to river. It is possible that Richard RACE died in the fourth quarter of 1917 (GRO ref: Stockton 10a 70). Elizabeth Ann died in the fourth quarter of 1938 (GRO ref: Durham North 10a 507). The registration district of Durham North did not include Stockton. Stockton was about 4 miles (6km) from the possibility of war work in Middlesbrough, where shemay have met Leslie. However, a search of Dorman Long salary and wages books 1 shows no entries under the name of Moore or Forsyth. It is also possible that, since Beatrice was in retail Leslie met her in her shop. Or he may have been in 'digs' with the family, complimenting out a widows income. It is interesting to note that, in 1901, George Patterson lived in Webster Street, which is the street east of the allotments. In the fourth quarter of 1902 George Patterson married Lavinia Thomas, who was the great granddaughter of Elizabeth Crompton, born 1811. Elizabeth Crompton was Caleb's sister. In 1911 Beatrice Moore and Lavinia Thomas (sheet 8) lived within 500m of each other. |

fiancée(?), suggesting that the couple had possibly met at Dorman Long.

Seventy nine days later the couple married. Their witnesses were Elizabeth Emily Caldwell, Leslie's half-sister by William Henry COX, and her husband Thomas.
Her death

When Beatrice FORSYTH died on 27 October 1948 at 125 Morris Street, Leslie Milo FORSYTH continued to live there whilst he worked on as a blacksmith. Beatrice' s cremated remains were removed from Fawkner Memorial Park (1187 Sydney Road, Fawkner, Victoria 3060). |
