Hi,

This is a message for Pennines.

George Crake and Margaret Johnstone are my direct ancestors (they are my 5x great grandparents), I was just wondering whether you had any information I could look at? Have you managed to go any further back than these? What relation are they to your friend who you were doing the research for?

Thanks in advance and hope to hear from you soon.

Hi Charlene,

I'll have to look back on this as I passed all the research over --- I will be in touch with you as soon as I can.

Off the top of my head - I may not have got further back with George. May have info on Margaret though - but I did a write up of this family concentrating mainly on my friend's particular line.

Leave it with me -- I'll be back.

Regards

Hi again Charlene --- I've had a quick look at the tree I compiled and George was my friend's 5 x Great Grandfather also.

I see that you are new to Rootschat - and as far as I know you cannot send or receive private messages until you have posted 3 'posts' on the normal board (such as this one).

Hence - if you reply to this message, -- saying (for instance) - which of George and Margaret's children you are descended from that will be your second post.

You then need a third one - so you could do another reply - just add a bit more information. I will then be able to send a private message, via Roots Chat to you - otherwise all other previous contributors to this thread will be getting fed up with receiving all this!!

I hope you can follow what I mean above.

Might be wise to check out Berwickshire in the Scottish Borders - a few Craiks in the Swinton, Whitsome   area - not far from Tweedmouth - also check Roxburghshire as Craik is a small hamlet nr Hawick

Many thanks Terianne,

Such tips are really useful when you are unfamiliar with an area, as I was when I was doing my frirnds family history.

I did look at Scotland - on Scotlands People - there were several George Craiks born around the correct time - I was hoping to find one with a father Nicholas (the name of George's eldest son) - but I couldn't at that time.

I know 'Char1983' is hoping to get further back and will be interested in your message.

Point to note with the name Nicholas  was both male and female in the past

The female comes form Nichol's-lass aka Nicholas
