Hi Andy I do truly understand and of course I am very grateful for what you have done for me. Forget the Mcneal name as this seems to have originated in Cockermouth and was a maiden name. If you could just look at surname index for Marsden/Marston in 1871 in Carlisle that would be great, as its all the same family (honestly). Then I think maybe I need to visit again the castle. Thank you again
Edward Marsden Head Marr 34 Foundry Stoker Cumberland Carlisle Mary Wife Marr 29 Pern(?) Winder Cumberland Kingstown Margaret Graham Step Dau U 9 Scholar Cumberland Gillbeck
I also have a photocopy of Marstons at 10 Union Street, Carlisle, which includes Margaret (head) 62 yrs, Margaret (dau) 39 yrs, then Daniel, Margaret, Elloner(?) and John. If this is of interest I can email it to you
From the surname index only Edward & Mary Marsden and Daniel Marston are listed. The others aren't mentioned

:)Hi Andy Thank you so much for the information, you don't need to mail me the 'copy, as I'm not sure these are anything to do with me although I have made notes on what you have found. I can't thank you enough for the time and effort you have put in for me, looks like my lot have moved down country by 1871 so I shall be trailing through the '71 for Lancs. now. Hope your luckier with your lines!
