Hello!
most of my northern ancestors seem to come from Bishopthorpe in York, but the mother of my 4xg grandmother was born in Gainford.
Posted below what I found about what is presumably her, but I also see that her father, Henry, is said to be a 'native of Paddock Mire St H Auckland'...first link I have to any of my family from there.
Pretty sure Henry's grandfather & father were Joseph & Robert (m Ann Kirkham) respectively, but wondered whether if any M.I's indicate any longer establishment of 'my' Wades in the area?
Much obliged for any information on offer!
