Hi guys, first post here...hope it's in the right place.
I've been into searching my ancestry and become obsessed for a couple of years now, however, as I'm from a border town of North Northumberland it's become a little difficult to find any more out after the years 1796 (male maternal side) and 1649 (male paternal side) apparently.
Maybe it's just the years as I guess it's harder the further back you go but the mix of English and Scottish record searching has been an issue for me.
I wondered if anyone has experienced the same, has any tips or anything else? I have used both free and paid resources online but have yet to visit a local archives with them being quite far out of the way.
I do have names, birth dates, birth places and marriages for both of my last found relatives if anyone can direct me to somewhere on this forum I could post that info to help find parents perhaps?
Sorry for the long ramble! Thanks in advance.
Danielle.
