Hi

Try posting the information you have for the people that you are looking for.

You could be surprised by what other Roots Chat members will find for you.

There is also a Cumbria FHS website where there are some helpful people. :)
Today I broke my personal record for most consecutive days alive.

I am guessing that you are still looking for Morrisons. It has been suggested on a previous thread that you should consider whether they are non-conformist. Try the non-conformist records on www.thegenealogist.co.uk

There is a limited amount of non-conformist material online but you may just hit on lucky. If you do not find who you are looking for and go on to contact a researcher then remember to tell them that you have been advised to consider non-conformists too.

There is at least one Morrison family baptising children in Workington Presbyterian in the 1750s/60s. They live at Ellenfoot. I have not looked at how close that is to your locations, but it does suggest that looking more closely at non-conformists might give you some useful leads.
