Dear Listers, My ggg-grandfather was Ralph Hunter, born by calculation from census returns, death certificate and burial record somewhere between 1780 and 1788. One census return stated he was born at Newbrough, but I can find nothing in the church records that fits. I then came across a record at Simonburn stating that Ralph was born at Little Lonbrough to the west of Simonburn. Since, though, I have found yet another record at Newbrough stating that at leasst three children baptised at that church were born to Ralph Hunter, labourer of Little Lonbrough and Jane French. My Ralph was married to Isabella (unknown maiden name). He was later a coal miner and coal owner, living at The Rooken in Kielder Forest and then Belshiel to the south of the A68, where he died. He was buried at Elsdon in 1860 (no stone). Any help, other ideas of where to look, etc. would be gratefully received. Melvyn.
