Start by checking freebmd for accurate name and birth year info.

Do you know when and where Gladys and Norman married, as unfortunately Smith is a very common name?
Thanks

Glady's maiden name is crucial.

Yes I have that marriage which is correct and those birth dates. i also have the marriage cert for Gladys and Norman. It is the four children that are proving hard to find anywhere but in free bmd.Thanks

We cannot see the births for Shirley and Patricia in free bmd in Tynemouth.
Could you give the years and if any middle names?
If there is no further sign of them whatsoever, were they given up for adoption?
Do you know when Gladys and Norman died, and who reported their deaths?
Thank-you
