Hi,

I am researching my great, great, great grandmother Esther who was married to James Walker a gunsmith from Durham. My research has lead me to Esthers maiden name being Herrings but i cannot find any records on the Herrings family.

Any information regarding Esther and her family would be gratefully recieved.

Many thanks

Lisa
