Sounds like a job for UNION.

select name,address from custmas union
select name,address from newmas
  order by 1

The key is that both SELECT statements return the exact same type of
columns; you can't do NAME,ADDRESS in one and ARAMT,ADDRESS in the other.
You can't ORDER BY a column name; you need to refer to the column number.
Finally, if you need to n=know where the records came from, use a constant:

select 1,name,address from custmas union
select 2,name,address from newmas
  order by 2

Hope that helped.
