Seeking GUILDFORD/GILFORD etc family in Longtown and Carlisle
« on: Thursday 27 September 07 09:17 BST (UK) »
I'm desperately trying to trace the family of my GGG grandfather, John Guildford, who married in Liverpool in 1846 and died there just before the 1851 census.

He was living in Liverpool in 1841, born Scotland probably between 1815 and 1818. Recent discovery of family legend claims Dumfries as place of origin. His father was Samuel Guildford, a labourer.

I believe that his parents are Samuel and Mary Gilford, aged 75 and 67 respectively, living in Longtown in 1861. Samual Gillford died Jun Q of 1861 in Longtown district.

In 1871, Mary Guildford aged 82 was living in Botchergate, Carlisle with her daughter, Agnes, aged 33. Both born Scotland.... though I also have a marriage index entry of 2 years earlier for Agnes Guildford in Carlisle district to Telesforo Perez or William Armstrong. This is the only exact spelling Guildford record in Cumberland, and seems too coincidental to not be connected, but she was listed as unmarried in 1871.

Knowing that Samuel dies in Longtown, I was hoping someone might have some details of deaths/memorial inscriptions of the area which might expand on his family links.

Other possible relative is Edward Guildford, who lived in Liverpool from at least 1851, born c1820 in Scotland.

Have found a lot on this family, thanks to kind folk on the Dumfries board. They were known as Gallahar until 1841 onwards (in this census Samuel and family are in Leith, Cumberland as Gallahar, John is in Liverpool as Guildford). I now have a a full list of children of Samuel Gallahar and Mary Wilkinson:
John 1815
Jean 1818
Edward 1820
Peter Wilkinson 1822
Catherine Letitia 1826
Margaret 1829
Agnes Scott 1832
William 1835

I believe Peter and William were elsewhere in later census in the armed forces.

Does anyone have anything on the Gallahars in Cumberland? Known places Leith, Longtown & Carlilse
