Could someone be kind enough to tell me where my parents were living on the register. They were Robert W. Cunningham b. 1914 and Doris Elizabeth(nee Calvert b 1917) - probably Coventry or Newcastle on Tyne. Also who was resident with my grandparents John W Calvert and wife Margaret who lived 20 Oswin Avenue, Forest Hall, Newcastle on Tyne. I believe their children Gladys 1912, Ruby 1915 and Mamie 1920 had probably left home as they went into 'service' in Forest Hall.. Many thanks for any information you could give.

Thank you all very much indeed. I am slightly puzzled about the Maurice/Mamie on the Calvert list as the Mamie I was referring to was born July 1920 not 1924. There was also a younger daughter Margaret who was born November 1923 who does not appear to be at home. Incidentally, the Margaret daughter is still alive today coming up to her 93rd birthday.

Prickly Holly - I was fascinated to see Cunningham living next door and funnily enough they are no relation whatsoever. What a coincidence. Thanks again.

There is one closed record after Marnie/ Mamie which is likely Margaret- if she's still living then her record will remain closed.

The DOB for Marnie is difficult to read- it has been transcribed as 1924, but it looks more like 1920 on the image.

Thank you Austin Q. I hadn't realised that records remained closed for living folk. I was just about to ring her up and ask her where she had disappeared to in 1939 !!!
