Thanks Adrian,
Please do ask your Mum for me....you never know but she may very well remember for some reason or another. Sadly, I think yards keep changing their names though, so it is possible that Harrison's Yard became known by another name.... I found the name originally as it cropped up on one of the census sheets and I wondered if it still existed. I was planning on a Kendal visit and would have liked to see if the old places were still there. Thank your Mum for me; people like her are so valuable at all the local knowledge they have acquired over the years. Like so many other people, I wished I'd talked about FH with my Gran before it was too late....

hi well have asked her and off the top of her head she hasn't heard of it . but sunday when they all get together after church ( six of them lunch on sundays) she will ask her friends , am sure one of them will know , but it will prob cause some heated debate . HE HE !!!!
may be to narrow down the area if you have a copy of the census is there another yard name or street or road on it , or with been so many pubs in Kendal a pub name (hic! i think i did them all in my youth). maybe page before or after . ( if you got it from ancestry.com) i once lost a family group but when i looked up the neighbor's on the following census my lot were there but the surname was misspelt .(poss yard name misspelt ?)

Perhaps it would be better if I didn't have a drink....I just remembered that I can't look up a previous page as the Harrison's yard address is on a marriage cert!!! It does say Highgate, so it must have been in Highgate, but what yard number was it? The person who filled the cert in originally went and crossed out a mistake when he began to put in the address in a previous column and as there is a 28 in that column I am wondering if Harrisons yard was no 28....would that be possible? Either that or it might mean number 28 in Harrison's yard, which is more likely. Regards Lyn

Lyn not having much luck mums asked loads of her friends but complete blank , she's even asked a guy who does historic Kendal and he is puzzled .
if a wedding cert what year ?? is it near a census date that they or their parents could still be living in Harrisons yard ?? or a siblings wedding
the yards that are still there have kept their names but so many have now gone due to rebuild .

Dear Adrian,
I will study the cert again.... ???The writing is soooooo poor that I MUST be reading it incorrectly. :-\I simply can't see any other reason for the mystery! Perhaps I should carry the cert about with me and ask other people what it says....I shall not say anything about Harrison's yard and then they might see something entirely different!!! I will also drag it out the file and look at it in context with the nearest census sheets as you suggest. Thank you for all this bother you have gone too. It is so very kind. Regards Lyn

I have studied the marriage cert again  and it still looks like Harrison to me...I have asked one other person and they simply made up a ridiculous sound!...not at all helpful. I have another possability and that was that the person who did the entry made an error in the 'condition' section...they had put in the address and then scribbled it out....I think it says 28 before the Harrison's Yard, then 'Highgate' after.
I also looked up all the other addresses for the family...as it was rather large as was the norm in those days. Loads of them were living at 57 Highgate, some at 17 Entry Lane, 10 Kirkland and finally at Yew Trees.
It is interesting and reassuring that Shaun has come up with a Jonathan Savage, a sack maker at Harrison's yard....there just must have been a place by that name somewhere in Highgate. I can only assume it was a short lived name.... the mystery continues... 
I shall ask some 'more sensable' people what they make of the address...I was thinking I should take it to a pharmacist....if they can read doctors writing on prescriptions then they should make something out of this!!!

Thanks Adrian,
Titus Wilson!!!! With a name like that I won't be showing the family!....the reason is simple...I have loads of Wilson's in my history and I can imagine the nickname that might follow me if they caught a glimpse of the 'Titus' bit!!!! It was bad enough when someone found a gruesome doll in a shop window called 'evil Lyn'!!! I suppose there was every good chance that these yards changed names from time to time.... perhaps because of the different occupations that people brought into them and also who the yard actually belonged too... Thanks again Adrian

Hi Lyn,
I don't know if you've found it yet, but on Henry Hoggarth's map of 1853 Wm Fred Harrison has a yard on the east side of Highgate (odd numbers) opposite the Shakespeare Tavern, which Adrian has probably frequented on numerous occasions!
Regards
Chris
