Hello Suzy and Jan,
I have two different Park families in my family.... they both come into the families in the 1700s.
I was wondering if either of you can throw any light on them for me.
this is the only information I have on one of the Parks.
Thomas Park married Agnes Coulson in Kirkby Lonsdale on 24th June 1752. Agnes Coulson was baptised at St Michael's in Appleby, Westmorland on 15th February 1735 and her sister Dinah Coulson in 1729, their father was William Coulson.
Children I can find for Thomas Park and Agnes Coulson.
Joseph Park 18th Nov 1753
Isabel Park 21st Dec 1755
Thomas Park baptised 4th June 1758
Agnes Parke 6th May 1762 (married John Airey in Kirkby Lonsdale 20th May 1792 )
John Park was baptised in Kirkby Longsdale on 27th May 1770
On 14th November 1791 John Park married Jane Holmes in Kirkby Lonsdale. Jane was baptised 7th July 1776 at Killington, just north of Kirkby Lonsdale, her mother was Sarah Holme. I can only find two children for John & Jane (Holmes) Park
William Park was baptised 19th Aug 1792, (William married Agness Gibson.)
Agnes Park was born 28th April 1794 and baptised 'Aggy' Park on the 15th June 1794 at Kirkby Lonsdale, she married Edward Gibson of New Hall, Nether Staveley; so the 'Park' brother and sister married the 'Gibson' brother and sister.
Hope you can understand it and thanks for any help
Jean
