Two archbishops and an MP, farm labourers, miners, weavers, brickies, war dead, convicts, suicides, bigamists and countless bastards!

It's a bugger trying to find any documentation on ordinary people before Elizabethan times.

I don't know much about my family it fascinates me though as I know my name come from Scotland and I could find out my dad's side but my mums side is a messy story to try and organise, her dad died when she was young, I don't know anymore about him than that as nan has now passed too.

Central

Have researched and got back to 1620s, with probable links to much earlier. It's gotten easier now, with record digitized. It's fun traveling all over though, seeing the places they came from.

Records are easily available to 1840 through the census records.
