Thnkyou Jill & Edgar,for your information on my Elusive ancestor. I had someone look into the Newcastle Upon Tyne registers about 10 years ago,with no luck in finding him. So Maybe I should try this other place called NEWBURN? If thats where the Engineer,s were all from,eh? Does anyone know if these registers have been transcribed yet? Also,Where is Callerton Please?Its now on my Map,but Newburn is. Edgar forgot to mention,But Im not "On-Line".[not yet anyway,but I do have a second hand computer]I can access some sites using this contraption of a Keyboard/NTL Cable & my Telly screen. The Name of "Mckinley"was handed down through my Barry[South Wales]Branch.To a Bryn Mckinley Coulthard who died in 1984. My William Mckinley Coulthard was a "Joiner",as was his son William[1854-1917] I must say,that since doing my family Tree[for 22 years now]Ive had more luck in Tracing my Jones Family of Mumbles[back to 1700]or my Williams family of Carmarthenshire[back to about 1750]than I have for my Coulthard,s! Thankyou all once again. Best Wishes From Cardiff. Graham. [Robert]Graham Williams.Glam;FHS,#551 of Canton,Cardiff.
