Hi Jill,
I forgot to say in my last message, have you looked at Carol Foreman's
"Troughton Family Genealogy of Westmorland" site?

Hello Jill

Robert "Bobby" Troughton lived in the area known as Fell side for much if not all of his life. I'm just an interested party in the history of the Troughton's, trying to compile so kind of family tree for the appendices of my book, I'm intending to begin with his parents and then he / siblings and take it from there,

thank you very much, yes I have followed him via the census. He is extensively documented in the newspapers of the time both hunting, cockfighting and his building activity. This however throws up more questions. for example. He was presented with a hunting horn by the followers from Lunesdale, what happened to it ?

I'm given to understand the 95% of all Troughton's live in Kendal, except for a Dr Who! who lives in cyberspace

The "public house" was the legendary "Hyena" on Fellside, today a private house.

Hello Group
I'm writing a book on Robert "Bobby" Troughton of Kendal who lived 1835-1912, and formed and hunted the Kendal Otter Hounds also know as the Kendal Otter Hunt Club, he was also a builder of some skill constructing buildings and bridges, would anyone have any detail or information they would be willing to share on a reciprocal basis? Sadly he seems to be all but forgotten in his native Kendal
