willow think ive given info somewhere else not 2 worry.Details I know grandfather william white married mary jane Lightley in april/may/june 1912 we think Morpeth. We think william lived as a lodger with the lightley family b4 marriage his father is shown deceased at the time of marriage. We cannot trace them after this or b4 this time. My father spent time in a childrens home in morpeth in early 30's he was born in Ashington . am visiting Morpeth in May to visit registry office would love 2 have info b4 then.Cheers heres hoping.

Ladyloo
Welcome to rootschat from one Northumbrian
When you come to Morpeth take a trip down to Woodhorn you will be able to find your family there
Bring with you dates and names this will help you
By the way there are Lightly's living in Seahouses just up the coast from me ,not saying they are relatives but theres always a chance
happy hunting
Enjoy Northumberland while you are here
Elizabeth
