Cumberland / Pooley's of Cockermouth

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
