Dear David,
I came across this post be accident. I am not at all into ancestry, However I am currently in the UK and looking for roots as you do.
I am the Ian Mackie mentioned above. I am married to Elizabelth Corfield. I have all the other details you need.
I do not use this site so please email me on
mackieian0@gmail.com.
A woman in Australia Dorothy Ritches my second cousin has a full family tree back to about the 5th century. You need to get her to sort the more complex questions.
Regards
Ian Mackie
