Hi - My Great Grandfather was John Smith Born in North Ingram Northumberland in 1829 he married Jane Ainslie who was born in Hownam Nr Morebattle Scotland in 1832. (Married 1853)
Both are buried in Ilderton Cemetery Nr Wooler,Northumberland. (John 1915) (Jane 1910)
They had 5 Children:-John Born 1857 - Morebattle
Elspeth Born 1859- Morebattle
Adam Born 1863 - Morebattle
Jane Born 1869 - Alnham, Northumberland
Richard Born 1871 - Alnham, Northumberland
There is a history of at least three generations moving from Scotland to England and vice versa. The males were all shepherds and the places they lived were more or less situated along the old "Drovers Roads" between the South of Scotland and the North of England. Johns father was William and his mother was Jane both are buried in North Ingram Cemetery, Northumberland.
Having said all that I think this may not be the ancestors you are looking for however it may help for the purposes of elimination.
