My 4x great grandparents, Adam Carr and Jane Nesbitt, were married on 6 June 1767 at Longbenton in Northumberland.
That makes this “xxx years ago today” post among my oldest events. Jane was a Longbenton lass and Adam was from Belford so I cannot help wondering what made him travel 47 miles south and marry a girl from there. Whatever the reason, I am glad he did 
I wonder what they would have made of how far their descendants are scattered around the world. Doubt if they even knew where Norway is.
Learning to check my stats and saw a look in from New Zealand – amazing or what?
Well done
