My grandmother believes her father is a relative of, I guess you would say, nobility or gentry from North East England. And I was just wondering if there would be a place that you can find out family history/lineage specifically from nobility or gentry? For some reason her aunts and cousins will not tell her specifically who her father is, but it has apparently been hinted at over several years. No one has outright spoken about it. If anyone could give me advice or help, it would be greatly appreciated as I seem to have hit a brick wall. Thankyou.

Good luck with your research, Wendy
