Or are you trying to fill in gaps -- perhaps with BMD records or census details? Or do you wish to find someone else who may be connected to your family?

Hi Trish, I have had trouble finding the origins of James Swift. According to his marriage entry he was from Gt Yarmouth but I don't know why he went all the way to Whitehaven, or when.
I would love to exchange info. with other descendants.
