Northumberland / What interesting things can be found at Woodhorn?
« on: Monday 25 May 15 18:28 BST (UK) »
As it's half term and I'm only 20 minutes from there I thought I could combine a trip to Woodhorn with the family records section too.
Have managed to find out quite a bit about mine and husbands family on line (thanks to some unusual known names and tradition if following those names down the line), but am still drawing a line in a few places. Namely my great grandads family, too common a name to confirm on census. I thought that by checking the marriage certificate of my g grandad and grandmother their parents might be listed.
Also trying to find out some information on my husbands family, his Great great grandad came from Isle of White but worked for the coastguard on the northumberland coast. Will this information be stored at Woodhorn?
Anyone any other suggestions for what I should look at when there and what sort of price it will cost?
Many thanks.
