the above was the sister of my maternal g'father james mckie, she was born approx 1901,
as my g'parents divorced when their kids were small all contact between the families appear to have been severed.
we have basic knowledge of my g'fathers family & i would like to discover lost relatives & learn more about my lost family
thank you to anyone who takes the time to read this post
regards denise :-)

Start by looking at freebmd and getting accurate info about her birth

I hope you've looked in 'search trees'?

Her name can't have been Blakey .unless she was a half-sister.............

This looks like Elizabeth and James with their mother who has remarried in the 1911 census:-

THOMPSON, Robert Head Married
9 years M 30 1881 Metal Dresser Founder Gateshead
THOMPSON, Mary Wife Married F 42 1869 Briely Hill Staffordshire
MCKIE, James Stepson Single M 19 1892 Baker Assistan Gateshead <<<<<<<<<<<
MCKIE, Sarah Stepdaughter Single F 15 1896 Gateshead
MCKIE, Robert Stepson M 12 1899 Gateshead
MCKIE, Elizabeth Stepdaughter F 10 1901 Gateshead <<<<<<
THOMPSON, William Stanley Son M 5 1906 Gateshead
THOMPSON, Mary Gladys Daughter F 3 1908 Gateshead
THOMPSON, Minnie Sister Single F 26 1885 Domestic Servant Gateshead

Image says Mary has had 13 children. 6 living and 7 have died. She must be counting children from both marriages as she has only been married to Robert Thompson for 9 years.

The 1911 census info is the reason for denise's requests

It was given to her on her other Mckie threads.................
