Hi,

Can you give any specific names, places or dates? Airey is a fairly common name in the Cumberland and Westmorland area - there were lots of them about! Still are, come to that.

I am researching one branch on behalf of a friend, so would be interested in knowing which were your lot.

Regards,

Jen

Hi Jen
Do you have a branch with the names of William Airey, Elizabeth Jackson, & 2 of their children Gawin & Hannah, also william's father's name was Gawin as well i believe, Hannah was born somewhere within the late 1600, early 1700's.

Hi,

My earliest Aireys so far are around 1800. I have William born about 1811 in Froston, Yorkshire. His son, also William, was born 1840, Selside Westmorland.

Do you know where yours came from, other than just Cumberland and Westmorland?

I'm not sure were else they came from, other than Westmorland/Cumberland, I hope that i soon find out more, so i can share my finding's with my New Found Cousin Eileen, if you want i could put you in touch with her as well..

Hi Jen, I also have a William born Selside about 1840, I think they may be connected to Nicholson family [off 81 census], any connection do you think ??

[genjen]

Hi,

The William Airey I have ( 1840, Selside) married Isabella Boak in 1862. I don't know of any connection to the Nicholson family but equally have no reason to say that there wasn't one.

William and Isabella had offspring: Isabella, Fanny, John, Margaret, Robert, William, Sarah and Eleanor.

William was a farmer and in 1881 was at Rosal or Ropal (difficult to read on the census form) Bridge, Whinfell.

Hope this helps,

Jen

Hi, I am not sure if there is a connection but on 81 census at Howstone, Whinefell with Nicholson family is Eleanor Margaret Airey g.daughter aged 11.

I have all the Aireys in the whole of Westmorland transcibed if youd like them.
