Hi Bruce and others on this list, I have made some progress with finding my cousins in Newcastle on Tyne recently. I have found that my mother's cousin Frederick H DODDS married Isabella LOGAN in 1947. They appear to have had a son Frederick M W DODDS in 1949 in Newcastle on Tyne. I'd like to hear from anyone who may know of this family (please keep privacy of living people in mind when replying via list). Thanks Colin colin@lambie.net.au -----Original Message----- From: northumbria-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:northumbria-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Bruce Dodd Sent: Thursday, 18 February 2010 12:46 PM To: northumbria@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [NMB] Boer War Thanks, Delia. I understood the War Office turned over their Boer War records to Salt Lake City, which is why I was surprised at what I thought you said. I haven't visited their local centre for this subject yet. It's only a couple of miles away, but unfortunately it's on the way to the curling rink.

Hi, Colin: Sorry, can't help, but I'll snap off a signal to a Shields cousin who works in N/C. I'm a singular, but I never rule out the plurals when I'm hunting. Even Lloyd's Register can't get it right. I long ago shared an office with a fellow-engineer named Susciewicz (approx). To our great amusement, no one ever spelled his name wrong, because, we figured, they had to look it up. Anyone could have a shot at a name that's 75% D, and as often as not got it wrong. Pluralizing was (and remains) only one of many possibilities. Similarly I'm cursed by being called by my middle name, something quite beyond the capability of government or the financial industry.
