I would like to thank again Ann and Selina for the help they gave me a few months ago, since then i have now found out after advice from Ann and Selina, that my great great Grandfather James Dixon c 1865 was from Durham.
I was about to give up on this side of the family as i have hit one brick wall after another.
But thankfully i never did and now i am about to send for his birth certificate and also a possible death for him as he died when my great nan was very young.

Anybody reading this do not give up even when it seems you hit a brick wall there is always someone that will help. Just make sure you put as much info as possible know matter how much you have as the people on this site do help out of kindness and appreciation should be given even if they do not find what your looking for as it is there time they are using to help, us all.

Thanks again to you both

Kind regards Paula
