Hi Joyce I suspect you may have more luck if you break down each surname with at least some dates and places particularly with such common names Fishing with surnames is generally a rather fruitless proposition on lists but without a bit more information even more so If you have any more specific questions all the better Happy to help but need to know what it is you need help with :-) Best wishes Nivard Ovington, in Cornwall (UK) I am new to the group. Here are the surnames I am researching in Gateshead and Newcastle: JONES SMITH WILSON WATTS. No kidding! Joyce Carr, Ontario, Canada
