Hi
I am new to RootsChat and this my first post. I am trying to find out about my late Mother's family. I am from a family of ten children, sadly, most of them are now deceased. There were lots of stories about the family's background, some of them accurate and some inaccurate.
My late Father, James Allan, was born in Linlithgow, but the family was predominantly from Alnwick, Northumberland. My Grandmother married a Peter McEwan from Alnwick. My two youngest Brother's were born in Leicester, but the rest of us were born in Alnwick.
I believe that my Mother, Mary, was born in Alnwick. Her maiden name was Hall (I am told that her Father was called Joe Hall). Her Mother's maiden name was Fannon. My Mother did tell me that her family originated from Ireland.
Is there any help or advice out there please?
