Thanks for the information and the links.

It's nice to learn about the history of the family and their surroundings, I only wish I was closer to Whitehaven to visit the places my family lived, worked and died and do more research instead it's just letters and telephone calls to various places.

I was born in Washington, County Durham but moved to Portsmouth in 1977 so it's quite a trek to Whitehaven. One day I will make a visit!

Thanks again
