Hi there, I am researching my Gaddes family name. My ancestors mostly centralised near Carlisle but I have been reading about Gaddes/Geddes having origins in Scotland. I am wondering if anyone has any family history on Alexander Gaddes/Geddes? That is, his spouse/parents/siblings/children etc. Please email me if you have anything. Many thanks, Michelle Gaddes (Australia)
