Hello Everyone, thank you all so very much taking the time to write back and giving me much needed leads to follow up on my family tree. Thank you too for welcoming me to this forum. If it is OK, I would like to let you know how I get on in the future. Also, if I can be of any assistance here, down under, please let me know. Kindest regards, Maggie

Hi All, my name is Maggie Lister. I am from New Zealand; the Granddaughter of Dorothy Murray Reston (nee Metcalfe) who was born in Bedlington at end of 1800's. She was the only living daughter of Robert and Mary Metcalfe, publicans in Bedlington. fr I have an address Turks Head ? from public records at start of 1900's Does anyone know if this was the address of the pub that my Great Grandfather ran, and if so, does it still exist in any form now? Robert and Mary changed vocation some time after that taking on a grocery shop in Bedlington? - also found through public records. I have very little information about my Grandmother and her forebears. I would love to put a face to some of the places in our family tree to get a sense of who these people were and where they came from. Grandmother Dorothy married a New Zealand Naval officer just after the 1st WW and moved to NZ where she lived for the rest of her 99 1/2 years. She visited England twice in later years but was happy to come home. Robert and Mary Metcalfe also moved to NZ and stayed. Would really enjoy hearing from anyone who may have recorded history - such as it is. Kind regards Maggie
