Hi, I am busy researching my family tree and whilst i am looking for facts it would be great to verify a couple of the family myths.
1) on my Fathers side (D B Rowe, Lancs UK) he used to mention a family connection to David Hartley who was a "coiner" who was famously excecuted in Tyburn Yorks in 1700's. However unable to prove anything yet, does anyone else have any other links to this famous man?
2) On my Mothers side - her mothers family name is Ritcher and they come from Thetford and her Fathers family name is Pain - and we would love to find a link to Thomas Pain ( Rights of Man)
