i have george william kew born 1899 craghead, durham, father john kew mother ann kew. 1901 census says john kew was born shiremon, northumberland 1874/5/6, but i can`t find him anywhere!!!! his marriage cert says his dad was called john william kew (deceased) so i am at the brick wall status. i thought KEW would be easy to find as it`s not a common surname but it`s proving to be the hardest one to find can anyone advise on where to go please thanx sharon

bloody hell brenda where did that come from, i have access to durham records online and can`t find anything.his marraige was 2/7/1898 and he was 24 but can`t seem to find where the hell he came from. i do have him on the 1901 census living with his wife`s family but the name is KERR. john and annie are buried just up the road from where i live but i cannot find anything about him, it`s so frustrating thanx sharon
