Do you have in your tree? Are they adjacent, or far flung? I have (east to west) CORNWALL, GLOUCESTERSHIRE, WARWICKSHIRE, OXFORDSHIRE, BUCKINGHAMSHIRE, SURREY (Richmond), ISLINGTON, HACKNEY, CAMBRIDGESHIRE, ESSEX and NORFOLK. Which proves that my forebears were all countrydwelling labourer types until they went to the big city. nell |

Between us my husbnd and I have branches in Devon, Dorset, Hampshire, Berkshire, Surrey, London, Middlesex, Bedfordshire, Northamptonshire, Leicestershire, Staffordshire, Norfolk, Suffolk, Cambridgeshire, Essex and possibly Yorkshire (not confirmed yet). We have managed to visit all these counties with varying degrees of success in tracing gravestones and the actual houses they lived in. Carolyn |

Gemma maybe we should compare notes most of mine are those Counties. Now although this has stated Counties people (like Nell herself) will have Irish and I bet a lot of people have Scottish and Welsh in their families too, but Im betting nearly everyone will have the Irish though..... Pat x |

Pat From what my mum can remember, she seems to think someone in the family came from Scotland, but so far, I have not found anyone from there. Gem:) |

Pat, it's true what I said. You'd be hard pushed to find a Glaswegian that doesn't have Irish ancestors. Christine |

Maz (the Royal One) in the East End 9256 | Report | 4 Nov 2004 14:41 |
Well, having thought originally that mum's side were all from Essex, we have Essex, Beds, Kent, Cambs and Sussex on her side. From Dad's (London we thought) we have London, Hunts and maybe Bristol. All down South at the moment, but Bristol (when proved) may lead to Ireland I think - then the fun will start! Maz. XX |

Helen in Kent | Report | 4 Nov 2004 14:49 |
Hi Nell, on my mother's side so far I have found Derbyshire, Hampshire, and Kent (to my surprise) and on my father's I have Derbyshire, Lancashire and Staffordshire. If you include my children, then add Middlesex. If you include hubby's family then London and Counties Roscommon and Galway in Ireland. Not a very travelled bunch really! So 10 in all confirmed and a couple of unfounded suspects from Scotland in the 1700s and an escapee to Wales. |
