Thanks, Carol.  I certainly misunderstood how busy Harbottle was in the past.  I have published the information I have collected on the Lunns on my web site at www.the2nomads.org.  We leave in a couple of days on a holiday.  When I return home I will update the family tree with the information that you and David have provided.  Could you provide me with your surname?  My email is the2nomads@centurylink.net.

Regards, Mike

Your correspondence has inspired me to resuscitate my dormant work on the Lunn family.  I have been trying for many years to extend the Lunn family back from John (1764 - 1803).  There are plenty of Lunn records the other side of the border but John Locher and I could never find a connection.

The questions that have concerned me are: why did the family all move to Newcastle after John's death (mentioned in an earlier post)?  Was there some family link in Newcastle?  And: the occupation of tailor seems an unlikely one for a place like Harbottle.  Were there really enough people around 1800 with the spare cash to employ a tailor in the area?  Hearing that James Lunn (not the oldest brother) owned property in Harbottle just adds to my confusion about the family finances.

Another issue that David raised has concerned me for many years.  That is the marriage of John Lunn and Mary Robson.  I have the marriage as taking place in Harbottle on April 20th 1787 (note that their son John was born on April 11th!). I got this information from my father's genealogy records but without any reference.  I have unsuccessfully looked through his notebooks to see if I could work out where he obtained the information.

PS my Lunn connection is that my grandmother was Ada Bertram (nee Lunn).
