    Default Researching family history

    Hi
    I have been researching my families history for about 10 years.
    I have had some success getting back to 1790
    Other areas and relatives have been more,difficult to get accurate info that
    You can correlate dates and locations with.
    My mum was from Hull England
    My grandparents from Sunderland England
    On my dads side, my grandfather was from Porthsmouth
    And grandmum from Glasgow,Scotland

    I have tried a number of sites that you can get info from
    But it’s like running in a circle sometimes

    The journey continues

    Thanks
    Chris

    bb - I've made a start on replying to one query in this thread but haven't had time to delve further than finding that by 1911 Richard was in the navy on board HMS Edgar and George was in the army in India.

    Chris,
    yes, do start a new thread about the Chiverton family otherwise it gets confusing.
    If you already have the census stuff, marriage details, etc, such as I gave in your other thread, please tell them to us as it saves us duplicating your work. (Nothing worse than to spend an hour doing intensive research - and carefully typing it out! - only to be told 'I already know that'.)
