Westmorland Completed Look up Requests / Re: Cragg - 1851/1861 K. Lonsdale area look up please

Hi Andrea

I've located most of the Broken Brow family with father James and mother Mary from 1809 all christened Preston Patrick (which I know to be where "my" Birkett Robert was christened.)Nothing "concrete" though. There is a marriage 1809 for a James Cragg and Mary Walker in Haversham but of course I have no way yet of connecting that for sure.
The Birkett name is prevailant in the area  - I do need to follow your suggestion of a record office visit.
I appreciate your interest and responses.

Hi Andrea

Thanks for your reply. Yes assumptions are much of my conclusions but I do have the birth certificate stating mother as Mary Cragg and birthplace Broken Brow, as on the census - Broken Brow is a house not a district (still standing and occupied). Pure guesswork is that the wife in the Taylor household will turn out to be an aunt as well as the visitor Margaret - more assumptions but never accepted until I have some kind of proof.
A puzzling aspect is being unable to trace mother Mary or her (presumed) husband Thomas Shepherd who is listed on the marriage certificate as father.
I'm grateful for your interest and ideas, I've posted quite a few queries on this without positive response - many thanks

Having just read through the site I see the actual dates you require aren't referred to. An e mail to someone on site might suffice but if not I can probably visit the churchyard one day next week

The above link is to the Prescot page in the on line parish clerk project for Lancashire. Unfortunately Alison there don't seem to be records extracted yet but there's an e mail link that might help.

Good luck

Birkett Robert Cragg born 2/10/1840 Broken Brow registered Kendal 7/11/1840, informant mother Mary Cragg

1841 census Broken Brow Preston Richard Head of household Mary Cragg is a widow, BR listed as grandson and single daughter Mary listed with other family members.

Birkett Robert 's marriage certificate 1865 Coppull Lancashire names him as Robert Birkett age 23 and his father is listed as Thomas Shepherd.
I have been unable to locate BR or his mother on 1851 or 1861 census nor find his grandmother Mary's husband or her maiden name.
Possibility of BR listed as Robert in Slyne With Hest 1851 census with Margaret Cragg listed as visitor in the household where he is ag. labourer.

Any help/suggestions will be really appreciated
