Barrow in Furness was a victorian New Town, built around the steel works and shipyard from the late 1850s onward.

Building a whole town requires a lot of tradesmen, so there would have been work for a joiner in the town as well as at Vickers. There were 32 dwellings in 1845, and a population of 47000 by 1881. Someone had to build all that accommodation. News and descriptions of the place would be widespread among the seafaring community, even in Alderney.

My ggg gf, last of a line of stonemasons, moved there from the Whitehaven area about 1860.
Looking at ALSTON in south Ribble area, ALSTEAD and DONBAVAND/DUNBABIN etc. everywhere, HOWCROFT and MARSH in Bolton and Westhoughton, PICKERING in the Whitehaven area.
