Hi Lindsey,

It probably isnt linked but George Washingtons ancestors came from near me, in North Lancs, on the border with Cumbria.

Thanks Caz ........Mine were from St pancras, Somerstown London.. gg,s were baptised in Headington, but before 1805 zilch ,I can't lay claim to half of Northumbria just yet! I cant find anyone who specialises in white english washingtons it was also a tribute name also hard to trace. I'm stuck.

Certainly are but where did they go? Herbert went to oz, since they were church goers they must surely have married, died etc. but I cant find anything else about them, maybe they emigrated! Alien abduction ? Thanks Eric
