Cumberland / Re: Carlisle - key to the city and prev. Mayors
« on: Thursday 13 July 06 20:43 BST (UK)  »
Hi Debbie


Had occasion to visit Carlisle Civic Centre this morning and established that Ritson Graham, JP was mayor 1956 - 1957. I could find no other Graham's during this period except Mrs I Graham, JP was mayor between 1945-1946 and Alan Graham was mayor in 1984. It occurred to me later you might have wanted a photo of the portrait ? Can't guarantee quality as the subject is a glass framed monochrome picture - but willing to try.
Unfortunately no further information regarding key to the City but may still be able to follow this up at a later time.

Regards

Hi Debbie,

I regularly visit the Civic Centre in Carlisle and portraits of all (I think!) the City mayors since 1836 are displayed. It is an easy matter to check amongst them for Ritson Graham. As to the 'key to the city', I don't know if this ceremony can be verified, but I'll see what I can do!

Many thanks

Dumfriesshire / Great Scot! (Thomas Telford)
« on: Thursday 22 June 06 21:30 BST (UK)  »
I am researching a possible link through my paternal great grandmother (Anne Telford) to the Scottish engineer, Thomas Telford. I have tried to locate family history records for him, but although he is mentioned on several websites, there is only mention of his career - nothing regarding his own family and ancestry. Does anyone know of records for Thomas Telford that might give more clues to his wider family?

Many thanks

Lancashire Lookup Requests / Re: Census Lookup Request - Barrow-in-Furness
« on: Thursday 16 February 06 21:53 GMT (UK)  »
Wow!

What a superb response. This is all new info. I will check the marriage and birth data as suggested. I am trying to tie this branch with other Huntons still living in Carlisle (since at least 1841)

Very many thanks

I have discovered from the 1881 Census that a branch of my family resided at 8 Manchester Street, Barrow-in-Furness. I would be very grateful if SKS could check the 1871 and 1891 census to ascertain if they are still there.

Cumberland Completed Lookups / Re: Hutton-in-the-Forest

Hi Karina

Re your query on New Hutton and Old Hutton.  I can't yet find a connection between these places and Hutton-in-the-Forest, but believe they are actually wards in Kendal (old Westmorland). Have a look at this link.
