Living down South all I know of my ggf's early days is that he was born in Gunnerton in 1860 or 1861. His name was Richard Franks and I would be really grateful if someone can look at the Parish Records of the local church (he was not a Catholic) for his baptism records (if they exist) for those two years to give me a head start.
I will be taking a trip to the Family Records Office in the New Year (London) and i might be able to return a favour?
checked the VRI the only Franks listed for Northumberland are ELIZABETH CATHRINE chr.28 dec. 1837 GEORGIANA chr.26 may 1840 Father George Franks Mother Elizabeth ? audrey
