Robert Rawe Alisona Challina
« on: Thursday 23 March 23 17:27 GMT (UK) »
I have recently hit a sticking point , one of many hence this post. I have recently discovered James Raw born circa 1609 Morpeth . Parents are Robert Rawe and Alison / Alisona  Challina married 1583 Morpeth . There is a family tree on familysearch suggesting her parents as Lancelot Errington and Mabel Lawson born 1563 Morpeth . There are many Challener's in Morpeth and I find it hard to think that her father is Lancelot Errington as he was married 1570 Northumberland . Any help in finding  the identity of her true parentage would be appreciated.

Hi,

I find it best to not look at other people's trees when first researching, and to instead look for primary sources to support dates of birth, marriage and death. After this, it can sometimes be useful to compare your findings with the trees of others but, when researching this far back, the quality of these trees is often poor.

What primary sources (i.e. parish register entries, wills) do you have for James Raw?
