Their old meeting place was leased out in 1834 to Newcastle School of Medicine and Surgery and in 1850-51 demolished to make way for the North East and Railway Company. A new meeting hall was then built in Victoria Street, Newcastle

    The whole site has lots of extra stuff to add to the bare bones here, and is certainly worth a visit
Thank to June Watson for the extensive additions above

Research Notes

LDS has marriage.and children. Note the family moves from Ulgham to Newcastle-on-Tyne. Dorothy's maiden name is given on christenings in both places, so it holds up
The late child  Frances is the exception, so is possibly not part of the family
