Hello
Just came across this Forum Chat

Hugh Kennedy links into my direct Kennedy Ancestors who originated in Northumberland and were then known as incomers to Stapleton and other areas of Cumberland once John and Dorothy Armstrong moved the family to this region

Many branches went between Cumberland and Northumberland for decades as well as migrating to Canada USA and various other countries

Have extensive data  on Ancestry and also information from Carlise BMD

Willing to share if anyone interested

I live in North East England
Individuals within my direct branch born in Newcastle moved to Cumberland with their own families and died in Longtown etc
