Hi Kaytie I am no relation but in the 1940/50 i lived in Sunderland, Hendon area, Tower St West and living there was a Newby family, the father was a butcher, the eldest son Kenneth died young while doing his National Service he was between 18/20, there was another son James a daughter Mary or Margaret, and other siblings. I hope this is of some help, good luck in your search. Regards Allan 26/04/04 14:30pm
