Trace family member, shop owner in 1920s

[pat nee McIntyre]

I am trying to trace a relative who was a shop owner in Bedlington circa 1920s. His neice was Henrietta Sweeney. When her father died in 1st world war she was taken in by her step grandfather John Robinson. The shop owner disowned her as he didn't like her choice of spouse. Trying to compile family tree.

@pat nee McIntyre a few years back a member, @Reedy, posted a list of pubs that his dad could remember and among the names was the Oddfellows Arms. he also had an old newspaper cutting .

In 2017 a member, @dunlinds, posted info of the pub :-   

                                   and  @Canny lass was doing some research in 2022 on something else but in her research she identfied where the Odfellows pub had been located = Front Street East. This is the old map she marked where the pub would have been :-

 

An old photo naming the Odfellows Arms was found but I can't recall who found it or where it was found. We joined the info from reedy, the old photo, and a Google street view of 2016 to show where it was though to be :-
