The site has been updated to include photos of the headstones located at Preston Cemetery, North Shields.
Where known, the image of the headstone is now featured on each individual victim page.
Big thanks to Brian Chandler who had images for the many I had not located. Still, there remains 18 family headstones either unfound or missing from their cemetery plot.
