Hello List! I need your help in researching from 1900 to date. Family details are provided below to assist you in determining what resources may be of value at this point while I order GRO certificates. Directories (1903-1977) are available at the Newcastle Local Studies Centre with Land Tax and Electoral Rolls at the TWAS if someone would volunteer to peek into these at your convenience, otherwise I look forward to your guidance. Ultimately I would like to make contact with anyone from this lineage; Isaac Newgreen Kendall was my grand uncle, oldest brother to my grandfather of Barrow in Furness. (1) Isaac Newgreen KENDALL B: Jun qtr 1874 - Whitehaven, Cumberland M: 31 Mar 1902 - Barrow-in-Furness, Lancashire D: 26 Apr 1943 - Newcastle, Northumberland Buried 28 Apr 1943 - Newcastle, Northumberland (Elswick Cemetery- grave number U uncon-105) Residences: 1903 - 55 Sycamore Street, Newcastle 1943- possibly 418 Westgate Road, Newcastle Wife Bessie Georgina Kendall nee Lehrle B:31 Mar 1877 (Barrow-in-Furness, Lancashire) D:Sep 1997 (Newcastle) [Burial info already requested from TWAS and Bereavement Services, Newcastle City Council] CHILDREN Only one child that I'm aware of, but there may be others: (2) Arthur Kendall B: 22 Jan 1903, Newcastle M: Dec qtr 1929, Newcastle to Hannah ROUND D: Mar qtr 1969, Newcastle [Burial info already requested from TWAS and Bereavement Services, Newcastle City Council] Wife Hannah Kendall nee Round B: 26 Jul 1909, Newcastle D: July 1997, Newcastle Children (3) Arthur D. Kendall B: Sep qtr 1930, Newcastle M: Dec qtr 1954, Newcastle to possibly still living D: Aug 2003, Newcastle and two others believed to still be living Arthur D. and wife had four children, all still believed to be living. Attempting to find all living relatives of my Tree, I e-mailed one of them, but based on the lack of replies I have to assume I either caught him by surprise and/or that he doesn't want to have any further contact. With this hesitancy in mind, I would like to get as much information as possible with your help before I attempt to make any further contact with other siblings through the post, which leads me to my last question. Is "cold calling" (ringing possible relatives in a given area introducing yourself and interests in family research) frowned upon in England? I've had great success using this technique stateside once all other avenues have been exhausted and would like to know if I could consider this a possibility in the future in Northumberland. With great appreciation, Mike Kendall New Mexico USA _________________________________________________________________ Hotmail: Trusted email with powerful SPAM protection. http://clk.atdmt.com/GBL/go/177141665/direct/01/

Mike Given your stated goal of contacting living relatives, and the fact that your entire query seems geared to that end, I'm afraid that your post is completely out of order. We have a strict rule here - you must not use the NORTHUMBRIA list to help identify, locate or contact living people. This thread is closed.
