Westmorland / Re: annie bennett - burial!!
« on: Monday 10 January 11 22:24 GMT (UK)  »
Hi Pat,

Leaving Windermere in the direction of Ambleside, the turning for Troutbeck is shortly on the right. The 3 churches form a triangle: Windermere to Ambleside (5 miles), Windermere due north to Troutbeck (3.5 miles), Ambleside south-east to Troutbeck  (2 miles).

Ambleside is in the Parish of Grasmere, about 5 miles south-east from the Parish Church. Langdale is about 2.5 miles south-west from Grasmere and about 6 miles from Ambleside.

Sorry, PRs are Parish Registers i.e. baptisms, burials and marriages.

Good luck

Chris

Hi,

Presumably you have the date of death from the certificate. This would confirm the place of abode as Ambleside and cause of death?

I would think that Langdale, Troutbeck and Windermere PRs are worth searching. Kendal Record Office may do part of these searches up to 10 minutes work.

I think Hay was the area roughly where Oxenholme railway station is today, between Oxenholme Road and Sedbergh Road. Some houses were built a few years ago on Kendal Parks, and Hayclose Road adjoins Oxenholme Road.

Westmorland / Re: Hawthorn Villas- Kendal
« on: Saturday 31 July 10 20:55 BST (UK)  »
Hi Gemma,

Hawthorn Villas is a one-off 3-story semi-detached building and the current addresses are nos 11 & 13 Castle Green Lane (the main road out of Kendal towards Sedbergh, under the railway bridge, 100 yards up the hill on the left before you get to Sandylands Road).

There is also a carved stone above the doorways - T&M 1869, presumably the builders.

Hope this helps.

Westmorland / Re: Joseph MUSGRAVE & Sarah COOPER Marriage at Kendal circa 1831
« on: Monday 24 May 10 23:39 BST (UK)  »
Hi Ed,

Looking at FamilySearch website, it seems that you are not the first to search for this elusive marriage. The IGI is pretty well covered for Kendal, so either it could be omitted, mistranscribed, or may they were married elsewhere or maybe not at all.

If Sarah was on the 1851 census, where was she born? Could they have married in a neighbouring parish? or even Gretna Green?

Kendal Record Office will do a free 10-minute search (if you ask them nicely) in the records of the parish church Holy Trinity, so this could eliminate omission & mistranscription.

Hope this helps.

Westmorland Completed Look up Requests / Re: 1851 Census lookup please

If the census information has lead you to his baptism in Beetham, you have 2 alternatives. Either find someone with the family tree from other chatrooms, as per the previous post, or assemble the family of Thomas & Jane yourself from the parish records at Kendal Records Office. Why not combine it with a break in the Lakes?

Hi Neale,

There appears to be 3 different groups. Agnes (69) is on her own at Dallam Tower Lodge; Robinson (34) - master tailor, and family in Heversham; Thomas (72) - widow, house carpenter & farmer of 45 acres with son & grandson. They all seem to be living within a couple of miles and could all therefore be related.

The IGI lists a baptism for Robinson Clemmy s/o Thomas at Heversham 24 Nov 1816. This fits in with probable father Thomas and brother William. Heversham & Beetham parish churches are also only a couple of miles apart and a connection would therefore seem likely.

Westmorland / Re: Ambleside burials pre 1854
« on: Saturday 10 April 10 21:59 BST (UK)  »
Hi,

There was a previous church, dedicated to St. Anne, which dates back to 17th century. Part of the township of Ambleside was in the parish of Windermere, and part was in Grasmere, so you could try either of these 2 churches (assuming C of E).

Good hunting

Chris
