My sister sent me photocopies of pages from Parish Registers so I could see the actual signatures of my grandparents and great grandparents at the time of their marriage. One was the register from St Luke's Cof E Church Wallsend. The other church was St Mary's Gateshead. Each photocopied page had details of another marriage on. I hope the details below may be of use to someone.
