Hello,
Does anyone know where Galehows is?
I came across this residence in the familysearch site. According to this website, my ancestor Mark Ellwood was buried 9 June 1805 nr Appleby & his place of residence was Galehows. The reference doesn't say which church.
Thanks,
Gillian

Film number will give parish detail.

Hi,
I can find no detail apart from Appleby. If I click on the batch number it gives a long list of burial entries also in just Appleby. Looking at their place of residense the church is probably St Michael's but it isn't mentioned.

Go to LDS site and enter film number which should reveal location.

Have you tried googling Galehows Appleby? Sounds as if it might be a large farm or small hamlet.
Ah, I have just found it on a 1925 map. Immediately to the north east of Appleby at about 2 o'clock. Try looking on an up to date map and see if it is still there.
Not much changes in that area!
