Hi, I am trying to trace my mams uncle John and Aunty Elvira Cunningham. Elvira married a Frank Harris and John (we dont know his wife) but he had 2 daughters Una and Margaret Cunningham (my mams cousins) who she remembers well. John and Elvira are my grannys younger siblings, born in Newcastle area, gran (Elizabeth Park Cunningham) was born Longbenton 1911 to John Cunningham and Agnes Reay. The last time my mam heard fae John (who was wheelchair bound) and Elvira was at grans funeral in Blackpool about 20 years ago.

Agnes Cunningham Gibson :-S

They are not, they are sibs.
