I am looking for a family named Gaskill, living in or near Kendal in the 1830s. The father's name was Thomas, the mother Margaret, and they had a daughter Ann who was baptised in Kendal on 6 October 1836. Her date of birth was 10 February 1836.
The father was possibly a school teacher and they may have had another daughter called Elizabeth or Betsy.
Any information would be very welcome.
Thanks

Hi,
Thanks for replying so quickly and it seems that this could well be the family. I suppose that the father could have died and, with luck his death would have been registered so I will have to try and look it up.
Thanks again

Thanks again - this is brilliant. I certainly think it looks right although I am wondering what happened to Ann after her father remarried as I can't find her on the 1851 census. If this is the right family Ann married my great-great uncle in Manchester in 1857 and on the marriage certificate her father is given as Thomas and his occupation as school teacher. One of the witnesses was a Betsy Gaskill but perhaps she was an aunt, rather than a sister as I had thought.
Thanks again

It has just occurred to me - why was Thomas not listed with his family in 1841?
By 1861 Ann, if it is the right one had emigrated to New York where she died in 1863 leaving one daughter. I have also found a Richard living there who could be her brother.
Thanks again

Hi Suz
Many thanks. Looks like the right Ann - perhaps she didn't get on with her step-mother!

Hi 
I think the servant is Agnes Coward, probably from my Coward family, not done much on this line yet though.
Will see if we can find Thomas in 1841
Catherine
Her aunt is a landed proprietor so maybe her prospects were considered better staying with a wealthier relative......

How amazing if you had also found someone. I will wait to hear from you about Thomas and will hope you can find something. I had tried looking for some time previous to staring up this correspondence but had had no success.

Thanks for this. I presume that Margaret Towers was Thomas Gaskill's sister. They seem to have been a fairly well-off family if a son was studying at Cambridge (unlike most of the ancestors I have discovered)!
