Roxburghshire / Smiths of Ancrum Roxburghshire
« on: Tuesday 20 January 15 20:39 GMT (UK) »
I am currently researching the Smith family and have become unstuck can anyone help?
Adam Smith was born in Ancrum in December 1773 he later married Betty Hall and lived at Hownam near Morebattle. From there on to date the records are well detailed and I have been able to follow the blood line.
However Adams father was named Andrew who`s father was also Andrew and so on. The generations overlap and multiply. Having tried for several months to unpick the tangled mass of the Smith,s can anyone throw any light on the who's who.
(My wife is concerned that when I get stuck I have a large dram which is becoming a habit)
