hi ! i descend from the south shields scraftons. i did some research many years ago in northallerton. i am sure they have some really interesting wills from this family there.i particularly remember because i am trying to find the birthplace of william who married in s. shields in 1766 and i thought this could his roots.i did take notes at the time but i have filed them somewhere as i ended up thinking it was not my line. sorry but i am sure about the wills.
