This branch of the Withers family is in South Shields situated at the mouth  of the river Tyne in the NE of England. Our roots however are in the Black  Country, Kidderminster, Rowley Regis, Hasbury and Halesowen. My father Donald  Withers was born in Birmingham. He met my mother Dora in 1944 when the ship he  was serving on,the H.M.S.Belfast, put into the river Tyne for repairs. Within  six weeks they were married and dad was off again to finnish his service in  the Royal Marines with four more years in the far east. 
   At the present time we are back as far as 1738 in Kidderminster with Elizabeth the  eldest of Thomas and Elizabeth's children.
