Alexander had at least 7 other siblings that i know of all born in Wooler so there are an awful lot of wintrips in that area. but the record for Margaret looks right and fits in with the dates for Mary on the census.

I have a horrible feeling that this family are going to give be a big headache before i am done.

Andy

Now you are just confusing things Andy lol I had just got my head round there being a Margaret and a Mary Ann.

As a by the By how to i go about telling Ancestry that they have got the places of birth totally wrong on the 1871 census

thanks i dont really want to buy certs if i can manage to sort out who belongs to who without as this is not my direct line and need to buy several cert for my direct line
