Never searched before but would like to find out more about Minns, County Durham

Ooh Ooh Ooh here's an interesting piece to an addictive jigsaw.  Cross reference to the post above I'm thinking of the Robson occurence!

Okay, okay enough.  There are actually loads of interesting 1871 entries there's an older Ralph.

Sorry I've only just found your messages as I don't normally look in this section.  Your first message says

I can go back only as far as an Stephen Minns (husband's paternal greatgrandfather) who married a Florence MacGregor Mackay and was father to Ernest Minns, now deceased in Ushaw Moor.

My mother-in-law indicated to me that there may have been a number of relatives from the Cambridgeshire area but I am really grasping at straws here!

Just to say that I have a deal of information on the Minns family of Chesterton Cambridge and I don't think the link goes back to there on the Minns side.  In 1800 there is a Minns marriage (Edward to Susannah Whybrow) and nearly all the Minns in Cambridgeshire are descended from him.  You might also like to know that there is a group of Minns researchers on a Yahoo message board, if you would like details I'd be happy to pass them on just send me a private message.

Glad you are enjoying the chase, is it any wonder we are all addicts!

best wishes
Brian

Hi MacBraveheart (love the name!)

Just thought I would poke my nose in here and let you know that I am also researching Hartshorn/e.   My lot originated in Dudley, Worcs., but who knows...............

Happy hunting!

Jill

Just to let you know that I have now found (or rather- he found ME) a Hartshorn relative who says that my grandfather in law Wilfred's older brother was called Thomas Otto Hartshorn.  From the Langley Park area of Durham...  Not sure this connects anywhere but I am not able to research this line just now as I have gotten real busy with work and still think I ought to get on with the Scottish link of Minns to Mackay and MacGregor.

Oh- and the folk in Scotland have nae yet sent me what Durham turned around in a few days!!!!  And I have paid...
