I have back to 1525 on one branch ( thanks to another's lifetime work) , 1770 ish, and 1840 on two other branches..... both may be nigh on impossible to get further back on in a direct line ( especially the Irish ones 1840 ) ... |

Hi Uggers, I was rather hoping one of mine might show up in the earlier criminal register on Ancestry.... some of those do have the colour of eyes etc lol. But no luck , they were either squeaky clean or didn't get caught :) |

I think I'm a bit sad but I love researching cousins and second cousins and so on. I like it when I'm looking at a village on the 1851 and I can see that most of the people in a street are connected in some way. |

No problem Uggers, my Gran arrived in England in the teens of the 1900's, and I have zero info about her. |
