StMary Dalton In Furness
13th July 1760
Mary Wiseman,
daughter of John
abode Dalton

I haven't been able to track this one down. May i ask where you come across it? It kind of fits in with some new information I have been following thanks to some info you have mentioned previous.

I have branched out a little further and found-
Sarah and Deborah (twins?) 1758- dau of John wiseman
Isabella- dau of john wiseman 1760
Anne- dau of John wiseman 1770
All of Dalton in Furness. No mother listed.

And also found-
Isaac and John (twins?) s. of john wiseman 1762 from Colton. Again no mother listed.

Any ideas on how to try and track down a mother, and how to confirm which John? What/where are the best places to search.

All ideas/ recommendations are greatly appreciated.
Thanks again.

Lancashire parish records,

Click on Dalton in Furness,

click on baptisms under W and you will see all the Wiseman baptisms for our town,

Now the distance between,Dalton , Stainton and Urswick is nothing,I would do this walk on a Summers evening as a child,today I am a bit lazier and would go in the car,

thank you for your help Radcliff. It is hard to really get a grasp on how close all these parishes are. I am extending out my search area a bit further, though i'm thinking it is confusing me all the more.
I had a look on google maps at Urswick area, and it is truly lovely and historical looking. Being here in Aus, we just don't have those lovely old buildings ( not where we live anyway). If you ever do go to have a look at the cemetery for john wiseman, I would be immensely grateful.

However the search continues....
