Whilst Bonnie Prince Charlie was marching further south into England in 1745, my Rae family moved across the border into England to settle for better wages in the farms of Coquetdale, Northumberland.

Seriously! You are descended from a concertina maker. I know this won't mean a great deal to a lot of people but I think that is absolutely fantastic!!

And yes, I will look out for one for you - do you really want me to let you know if I find one? And have you any idea how much these beasties cost these days? Even if yer ggggrandfather made it!

That would buy you a very fine English concertina....mine for example! ;) ;)

The one on your link is a much simpler instrument and wouldn't be so much, so maybe you'd be ok to buy it! ;D

Debtors' Prison..... You see, it just goes to show - even in 1851, it didn't pay to have anything to do with concertinas. ;)

But what a great ancestor to have. Makes a very real change from ag labs and iron workers!

One of mine was an Oyster Catcher, which only a bird watcher would find remarkable but which always makes me smile.
