Cumberland / Pooley's of Cockermouth
« on: Saturday 15 June 13 22:06 BST (UK)  »
Hi Everyone.
I have just started researching my mother's first husband's family. He was Ronald Pooley b. 1923 in Cockermouth & died in Germany in 1945. I believe I have found his parents birth's & deaths etc, and will be going to Cockermouth in August to traispe around the graveyards, not knowing at this point where they are buried! However, I am hoping someone will recognise the name Pooley as it seems to be prominent in the area. Apparently there is a Pooley House in Redmain Cockermouth and also a village named Pooley Bridge! How would I go about researching this name in the area and finding if my particular Pooley family are in any way connected to the people this village & house are clearly named after?
Many thanks for your time

Hi WT.

Thank you for your posting. The IGI & LDS are the two sites I have tried to no avail. Really don't know where else I can look.

Hi all.

Does anyone have access to the parish records of Cloddock Herefordshire? I am looking to confirm the birth of John Lewis in Cloddock in 1792. The only other info I have is that John had a brother named Thomas b. 1796. Any help/advice would be gratefully received.
Many thanks.

Hi Ray.

Wow, thank you so much for your kind offer. I am happy to list names etc, although most of the children were born pre 1839, it would be great if some marriages turned up? There were 13 children!! 2 of which died in infancy.

The farm name given on census' has 2 different spellings Coedybrain & Coadybrain. Gwehelog.
All info on children's baptisms are taken from IGI/LDS. Here goes  :)

John Lewis 26th Oct 1823. Thomas 8.10.1826. Henry 8.10.1826. Martha 1.4.1831. William 1.4.1831. James 17.4.1835. Matthew 17.4.1835.
Phillip 11.12.1836. Francis 12.11.1839. Arthur 9.2.1843. Caroline 10.4.1852.
There was also a daughter Mary born about 1829.
All these children are on the census returns. I have left off the 2 infant deaths.

There is record of a death possibly for the mother Ann in 1886 age 86. Dec Q Pontypool district. And possible death for father John in 1866 Jun Q again Pontypool district. age 75. 

Many thanks Liz

Thank you.

I know that our John was a Farmer in Gwehelog on the 1841 census, and on following census' up until 1871. All 13 children were born in Gwehelog. But thank you for coming up with the other possibility.

With regard to will's, this is an area I have never looked into! so wouldn't have a clue how to check this out. My knowledge is somewhat limited  ??? I would be happy to sift through this type of info if you could suggest a possible link?

Thank you Osprey.

Possibly a daft question  ::) re: the baptism you have found for John born 1793. Is there any other way to confirm that this is or isn't our John, being the parents marriage has offered no clues?

Hi there.

Yes I  have the marriage, but only as listed from the IGI records. I do not have access to parish records unfortunately.

Many thanks for your input, Osprey & Ray.

Hi there.

Just to let you know that the marriage cert finally arrived and I am very happy to say it is the correct one. Details of Williams father name and occupation were exactly as I hoped they would be. Many thanks to you all.

Could I please ask a final request of the kind souls with access to records etc?
Is it possible to find a birth record of William's father? His details are as follows:-

John Lewis born 1791c in Cloddock. Herefordshire. Possibly had a brother Thomas b, 1796 if this helps? I have searched the IGI & LDS sites with no luck.

Thank you for your time.

Hi there.

Thank you so much for finding this information for me. I am so excited to know you have found the marriage, given the names are pretty common ones. I will be ordering the cert this evening.

I really appreciate the time you have given to my request.

Many many thanks.
Liz.
