I'm needing help tracing my family back before 1700 in the Durham area of England, UK.
Can anyone help me in my search for my Ancestors, the Potts Family, who came from Durham and settled in Hull?
I can trace back to
Francis Potts Born Newburn 1699 Married Elizabeth Robison Born abt 1715
Children
William Potts 1729
John Potts 1745 to 1797
Francis Potts Born Benton Northumberland 1739 to 1797 married Margaret Tulley 1747 to 1814
Children
Joseph Potts Born South Shields 1770 Moved to Hull and was a Sail-Maker died 1834
Does anyone have any information that may help me trace my ancestors in the Durham area pre-1700 please?
