All these names are derived from a newspaper cutting saved by my grandmother, Valencia Ann Harper Olsen (née Penney) of the wedding of Herbert Gillies Penney and Lottie Affleck on Saturday 11 December 1909. Jean Watson (§ - names and infomation provided by Jean) and Joyce and William Affleck have been most helpful, confirming what I had thought and supplying much new information. If you are a Penney (from South Shields) or an Affleck (from Gateshead) and are able to shed more light, I would be most grateful.

This house has been demolished and its site is roughly under the municipal library and Technical College. Robert and his father built a large part of Gateshead and many of the streets they built are still standing. One of them is called Affleck Street. I also have a lot of pictures of Robert, one of which is a copy of a portrait owned, but no longer hung, by the Gateshead Art Gallery. He was chairman of the Board of Guardians there. His father was Mayor." - quote from Joyce Affleck.
