I believe that William Ritson born 1843 was my husband's great grandfather. He had numerous ancestors living in Cramlington and working in the mines. Family names I have found so far apart from Ritson, and Jeffrey, are Brydon & Laidlaw. I would love to hear from any one who is also researching this line. We live in Australia, and my husband is blind, so I am doing this on his behalf. I was excited to find this site,and look forward to some feedback. Regards, Gwenda Jeffrey. |
