I'm fairly new to trying to expand on what we have already, which is essentially a handwritten family tree that was passed down through the generations. The belief was that prior to the family being in Suffolk, we went back to Lancastrian stock, but that is only what has been said, I've nothing prior to Robert (1728). But if that is the case, and we had family that did "move" around the country, then the 60 miles to Ramsey really is very little, and en route from where the family chatter had us originally.

Just starting to look into finding, or tracking down certificates to back up my line back to Robert now. Just picked up on your post, because the name link was relatively close in terms of dates, and the journey from Lancashire to Suffolk.

If I come across anything linking us to Ramsey, I'll let you know.

I know a bit of Robert Everson (b. 1728), as he is the furthest back our Family Tree goes, with his marriage to Ann Tricker.

They had 8 children, Robert (Mar 1751), Grace (Nov 1752), Thomas (Oct 1754, died May 1766), Elizabeth (Sep 1757), William (Sep 1758), Anne (Feb 1760), John (Nov 1767), Susan (1770, died 1777).

I descend from John, so our family tree follows down from there, but would be interesting to discover anything about the other branches. And if we could roll back any further than Robert, that would be brilliant.

We never engaged professionals to dig into our background, these were just records that were kept in the family, and were passed down.
