Did your ancestors stay in their ' hometown' or where they 'wanderers'? |

I live in the same town as the maternity home in which I was born, and it is now my Vet's. Ha Ha. Lived in Scotland as a child, dad was with the navy, then came back to the actual same house we had left to go to Scotland, but this time dad bought it with help from the British Legion. Have lived around this area after getting married, but moving from village to village. After 2nd marriage we went to Oxfordshire, but came back to our home area. Maternal ancestors were from Whittlesey, Cambs, and Paternal from Lincolnshire |

No I don't live where I was born (Herts). We left there when I was 4, and we only lived there because of Dad's job, not because of family roots. Then we moved north, further north, south and south west. |
