Just a quickie for anyone of a geographical nature. Just been searching for a relative in a Birth Index. Think I may have located him but it states he was born in Hexbam or Hexham. Has anyone ever heard of this area. He was born in 1890 so the area may now have changed its name. Can anyone assist? |
