If you've got back to 1830ish you're doing quite well! But you do need to confirm relationships, even with unusual names. The families may be related, but not necessarily direct ancestors of your branch, they could be cousins. nell

Hi, It's a mistake to try to fill in gaps as there may be no relationship. The only safe way is to work backwards from what you know. Gwynne

Dear All, I'm relatively new to all this, so i apologise if the answer is obvious!, I am currently researching my father's family with my surname MORRLLE, anyone would think with an unusual surname life would be easy!!...I've managed to gather lots of info relating to two families in the same north wales village back to 1830 then i hit a brick wall until I found a record of a burial of a Morrlle infant in Northumberland in 1638!! I would be entirely grateful if anyone could point me in the right direction for finding resources relating to the intervening years!! Thanks Sarah
