Cumberland / Re: Henry Gainford Martha Guest
« on: Friday 17 October 08 23:52 BST (UK)  »
Hi Cajondy,
Henry Gainford and Martha Guest were my g g g grandparents and I've been searching many years for Henry's place of birth.  Can I ask how you know he came from the Eskdale area?   I'm thinking that he linked up with the Gainfords of the mid 1700s in the Dean/Winscales area of Cumberland but can't prove that yet.

Fanny Gainford was christened at Ponsonby, Cumberland, England in 15 Aug 1869.  I have the same story about her dying in childbirth too.  Fanny's great grandfather Henry Gainford born 1858, was my great great great grandfather.  My maiden name was Gainford. Contact me if you want more details on the Gainfords

Please would some kind person look up the 1861 census in  Whitehaven for JAMES GEDDES/GADDES aged about 36, his wife ELIZABETH aged about 35, children ROBERT (14)  ELIZABETH (12).  On the 1851 census they are living on New Street and he is a labourer.
