Cumberland / Anyone any info about Summergrove?
« on: Wednesday 06 November 13 21:05 GMT (UK)  »
Hi. I wondered if anyone could shed any light on the history of Summergrove in Whitehaven? I am involved with the refurbishment of the site and would love to be able to put some of the history of the site into the new place. I have a photo of the original building which is beautiful but have no details of when the original building was built, when it was demolished, why it was demolished etc. Any help would be great to keep the history alive! :)

Cumberland / Irish Street School, Whitehaven

Hello

It's a bit of a long shot I know, but I wondered if anyone has any idea how I may be able to find a picture of the old Irish Street School in Whitehaven.  I am making a 'this is your life' type book for my Dads 70th birthday and as he used to go to the school I thought it would be great to show him one of the old pictures.  I have tried the usual searches but can't find anything.  It was knocked down quite a while ago but I would have thought there should be plenty of photos.  Any ideas would be more than welcome!!

Many thanks
Jackie

Hello!

I am trying to find out some info about a relative who was in the second world war.  I have his name, service number (I think) and I know that he was a gunner.  I just wondered if anyone could give me some advice of how I could find some more about what he did/where he was posted etc?  I had a search on the internet but every site I find wants you to subscribe but I don't know if they are any good or if I would have to subscribe for months to view one record.  Can anyone please give me some advice?

Many thanks indeed :)

Hi Many thanks for picking up this thread.

Unfortunately I don't think this is the same person as my uncle was born in Cumbria.

Very kind of you offer though.  Much appreciated.

Hi Jo

Nice to hear from you.  I've got a few days off work so thought i'd pick up the family tree.  We've got quite a few Jacob Millers but no George Millers that i've come across yet.  We have cousins still living in Cockermouth who are Young's so we can ask about.  Let me know when you have your notes and we can do some digging.

Hi. Just picked up your posts.  I'm from the Miller family still alive and well in Cumbria!  Hillgell - the Nancy Stewart you mention is one of the realtives of ours.  We are connected the the Youngs, Stewarts and Morrisons as well as the Millers - all Hawkers, tin smiths and dealers from the West of Cumbria.

Pleased to hear the site in Carlisle still has a few of our relatives.  Heard about the site at a family funeral in the Isle of Man recently and found some old photos of our family on the site.

It'd be 'barie' to hear from any kin!
