The reason I became hooked on geneology was my grandmother always told us that a distant relative was a Marley or Molly Ingram .She was supposed to have been a witch ,her covern being at Riding Mill Northumberland and that she was one of the last witches to be burnt in England at Muggleswick Common. I have been researching since 1988 and am at a real brick wall with this. I have discovered William Ingram married a Mary Bullman at Edmondbyers in 1828 and that William came from Darlington so the witch certainly wasnt an Ingram.Apparently there is a plaque at Edmondbyers say the area was renowned for its witches. If there was a witch in the family she must have been on Marys side of the family. I have tried Durham Records office and they were unable to help. Does anyone one know anything about witches. Many Thanks

Patricia You are amazing! Is there any subject you can't suggest a site for? You must have an incredible memory or an excellent filing system! Well done, what would we do without you! Regards and thanks Sue
