Newnham Relatives

Lynda Report 22 Oct 2014 17:21

I am searching for sons and daughters, nieces or nephews of William Charles Newnham and Gertrude Newnham. My mother was one of the daughters, Miriam Clara Newnham and another daughter may be Clara May Newnham. I am aware of one son, Jim who moved to Canada and may have resided in either Edmonton or Calgary, Alberta. My grandmother was born Dec. 16, 1890 and passed away in 1973. My sister was born in England. Her name is Jacqueline Miriam Killam..mother was a war bride, married in August of 1944 to Lee Howard Killam of Moncton, NB, Canada. Mother came to Canada in 1945 and landed at Pier21 in Halifax. Any information would be welcomed. Thank you...

Lots of possible Newnham/Howick children, if you enter surnames in freebmd.org.uk it will give you full names.

For other helpers: I have advised Lynda that there is a tree on Ancestry with the family on it, tree owner looks to be related through one of the Newnham daughter's marriage.
