From Electoral Rolls on Ancestry, I've learnt that from 1951 to 1964 Kathleen Saunders was living with William Timothy McCarthy, who was about her mother's age, at 10 Boreman House, Thames Street, Greenwich. He died in 1968 at 38 Bideford Road, Downham, Lewisham and perhaps Kathleen was still living with him. Are there any online resources I could use to track her after this? My grandfather born in 1928 has never known a cousin, but this Kathleen is his cousin.

She would have been born between 1917 and 1930 and likely won't be alive anymore but I'm still trying to learn what I can of my grandfather's big mess of a family while he's still alive, and hoping she has some descendants out there. I've tried to match her with marriages in the London area after 1964 but I can't be sure of any, ditto with deaths for any Kathleen Saunders.

Thanks for any guidance.

Could somebody with a current Findmypast subscription please take a look at the newspaper image to see how old she was when she died? There's two newspapers with the info but both don't have her age in their transcriptions. I've provided links straight to each paper's results (only one should need to be checked). Thanks!

Thanks Stan!

Wikipedia says Newcastle upon Tyne became its own county in 1400 which continued until 1974, but being an Australian learning of English places through genealogy, censuses and other records have put it in my head that Newcastle has always been in the county of Northumberland and not on its own, at least from 1841 onwards.

So was it in the county of Northumberland like censuses would tell me or was it a county of its own? Also, why wasn't Newcastle the capital city of Northumberland?
