Fenwick near Holy Island - which parish ?
« on: Monday 24 August 15 18:05 BST (UK) »
Am just scratching my head trying to find exactly which church parish the village of Fenwick, the one opposite Holy Island, is  ??? 

There is a William Lisle listed there on the "hearth tax online" website data, am trying to find any family around him and if he might possibly be linked to a Robert Lisle died 1803 at Bamburgh aged 82.

That's what Genuki has to say :-)

Though looking at  http://maps.familysearch.org and using the OS map under the parish boundaries one I'd be inclined to say it was actually in Holy Island Parish (which spread off the island and onto the mainland)

So, I haven't really helped much :-)

Thanks Tickettyboo, I was guessing Kyloe but hadn't seen it written down anywhere and, as per Holy Island, seem to be fairly arbitrary to our modern eyes   :-\  ...from that Genuki entry "Kyloe is not included in the IGI"  ???  ...which is odd because I'm looking at Kyloe records now in Familysearch...

Thanks Stan.  I'm just looking at Lisle's in Kyloe on Familysearch and there's a Robert Lisle born 1723... he could be the right one given vaguaries of people knowing their birth year & ages in those times.  Looking at Holy Island ones there are just a few Lisle and no Robert.

Robert Lisle's gravestone at Bamburgh is on great condition but myself and another Lisle researcher have been stuck getting back past his marriage whilst having dozens of us his descendents mapped out.
