Find Living Relatives

I am looking for relatives of my mother and grandmother..grandmother Gertrude Newnham 1890 - 1974, Miriam Clara Newnham (Killam) 1921-2014. My mother was born in Sussex, England. I would like to make contact with someone in her family. I only know one sibling name..Jim and he moved to Canada..Calgary, I believe. My mother was a war bride and came to Canada in 1944 or 1945. I hope someone can help me find someone who knows of this family. Thank you..Lynda Davidge (Killam)..my email address is listed below.

There appear to be an awful lot of siblings to your Mother.

Look on free bmd for them using surname and mother's maiden name:
