Yes, I must admit I have sent in 'corrections' myself.

Cumberland Lookup Requests / Re: Carlisle Look up
« on: Thursday 23 May 13 03:03 BST (UK) »
Have you already looked up the census? They are there in 1861 and 1871, on Main Street, Cockermouth. Robert is a grocer.
Carlisle does cover a lot of area now, but in 1824 there weren't actually that many churches. Carlisle had only just started to take down the walls around it and expand. Most of the surrounding area had their own registration districts, e.g. Dalston and Brampton, so it may not be such a daunting task after all.

Hi, If you ring Whitehaven cemeteries on 01946 692329, you can ask for the cemetery record of Celia. They will send you the burial details and a map of where the grave is. Morskaj.

World War Two / Re: Pembroke - Ship sunk ww2 by German U boats?

I have my father's Naval records in front of me and it says, Pembroke - OrdSea - 4 Dec 43 - 6 Jan 44.
Later on the record it has Pembroke again - Able Seaman - and two dates in the same box, 4 Feb 44 and 20 Sep 44 - but only one 'end date' 20 Aug 46. My father also said he was sunk in the Mediterranean Sea at some point on, '647 gunboat'. There is a book somewhere about the boat, which I will look for now when I can and there is also a photograph of the boat that I come across now and again and put away again. I also have photographs which my father will have taken, of the crew of 647!! There are lot's of photographs in his album with the names, 'Flash', 'Bob', 'Jock Petts', 'Jock Canavan', 'Bud Abbot' and 'Mickey Mouse 64th'. Another has a few people on it and it says, Flash, Steve, Fred, Coxs, Jock. I have just looked through the album further and there are many, many more 'photo's and names, to be honest, too many to go through ay 2:09 in the morning, I will try to list the names, but some of them are very hard to read. One thing though, there is a photograph of a mine that was a dud, after much shooting trying to set it off, it was nicknamed 'Tinky Tonk'!! There are references to Greece and Yugoslavia and a photo of '566 being towed by us'. Hoping I can help someone, somewhere, See you later. Morskaj

Hi Valda and others, In 1841 the age was always rounded up, so anyone 16-20 was listed as 20, 21-25 was listed as 25 etc., they were never rounded down. So if the age listed was 55, they were 51-55. Morskaj.
