which parish is this in
« on: Friday 08 December 06 21:17 GMT (UK) »

My ancestors Renwicks came from St Marys Carlisle.I have been to the IGI indexes for Cumberland and St Marys isnt there.Am i looking in the right place.
I know that Braithwaite Caldewgate Cunmersdale Fisher Street Middlesceugh Rickergate and Scotch Street all lie in this parish but i cant find them on the IGI either.I am looking for info before the 1841 census,ie,births marriages and deaths.Can anyone tell me what i am doing wrong.Also while talking about Renwicks,my ancestor was a weaver by trade,he met and married a lady from Holystone near Rothbury Northumberland but ended up liveing in Alnwick Northumberland where all their children were born,as far as i know there were no mills at Alnwick,i dont know where they married,maybe Mabel was in service at Cumbria or maybe Thomas met her while he was working near Holystone,anyway i cant find any marriage details at the archives as i dont know where to look.Can anyone help with this mess.I think i have the right Thomas Renwick regarding his birth as he is the only Thomas Renwick that fits the age for 1841 census.Thomas Renwick christend 17/5/1789 Carlisle St Mary.Parents Thomas Renwick and Jane Gordon.All i know is Thomas married a lady called Mabel from Holystone near Rothbury Northumberland,i have no maiden name for her.If anyone can help i would be very grateful especially regarding searches for St Marys Carlisle.Anne.

Hi Anne

Can you clarify please? Do you mean the IGI - International Genealogical Index on familysearch.org? What are the indexes?

Batch No. P004861 covers the period 1648-1861 for Saint Mary, Carlisle although the only RENWICK's mentioned are from 1772-1843.

The list of hamlets and townships you gave as being in the parish of Saint Mary will not be listed separately on the IGI but will come under Saint Mary, which was the parish church.

It might be worth posting a message on the Northumberland Request Board for a lookup in the Northumberland Marriage Index, which covers the period 1813-1837 if the marriage would have been in that timeframe? The Index is not complete, however, but worth a try all the same.

Hope this helps.

I hope you realise that the IGI is not full coverage by any means.  I think that might be what you are doing wrong!  There are many church registers that have not been transcribed by the LDS church for the IGI and you need to look at those separately.   They have filmed most of them though and you can get the film to search at your nearest LDS centre.    They are worldwide.  www.genuki.com is likely to show what parishes are covered or there is a site run by Hugh Wallis that gives IGI batch numbers.   If they aren't there then it means a visit to the local record office or getting the film, unless another rootschatter can help.   Choosing your particular ancestor because he is the only one that fits on the IGI might be abit risky as he may be from a neighbouring parish that is not covered!  Ages in 1841 were usually rounded down to the nearest 5 so bear that in mind too.
