Westmorland resources
« on: Tuesday 01 January 13 14:46 GMT (UK) »
My 4x great grandfather had two (or possibly three) wives and several children.

My information has got in a bit of a pickle thanks to the site I originally got the information from and I am now trying to sort it all out.

George Willan was born about 1810 in Westmorland and seems to have had at least eight children.  Two of his wives were Agnes and Elizabeth but I don't know which children belonged to each set of parents.  I haven't been able to find a marriage to either of these ladies.

Can someone recommend a good website so I can sort this out please?

The information I have came from IGI originally.  The children were all born/christened in Kendal, Westmorland and were born between c1826 and c1845.

Thanks.

Revisiting this post and trying to sort out all George's family.

There doesn't seem to be much online.
