Find Living Relatives

I am trying to trace living relatives of my grandad Robert McGuire who was born in 1904 in Newcastle, Tyne and Wear. His parents were John McGuire and Eluzabeth Dowson. He had a twin brother called John and other brothers and sisters.

I look forward to hearing from you.

It’s unlikely on the extreme that anyone connected will see your post - hardly anybody uses these boards

Do some research using freebmd

For example
Innesina married Hunton - look for births using the surnames

She died in Reading district in 1971

Birth of the daughter listed as C Margaret in 1911:

MCGUIRE, CHRISTINA MARGARET mms SMITH
GRO Reference: 1890 M Quarter in NEWCASTLE-UPON-TYNE Volume 10B Page 12

But there are several marriages of women named Christina M, or Christina, McGuire (various spellings) in Northumberland and elsewhere.

She seems to have been known by her middle name - Margaret in 1901, and C Margaret (with the C looking like an afterthought) in 1911.
