The pub at Cow Rigg was called (I think) the Travellers Rest and is now a private dwelling.  I think at one point the building was owned by Lime House estates (private school near Dalston) and they sold it 10-15 years ago.  I know this because we got the details from the estate agents at the time.

There is a planning app for Travellers Lodge, which I thnk is the same place http://eforms.eden.gov.uk/fastweb/detail.asp?AltRef=07/0616  and you can click and view on a map.

Hope this is helpful  (and if any of the details are incorrect, I apologise - it is a long time since the pub closed and I haven't driven round those roads for years)

I am helping my friend and her daughter start out on their family tree and would like to know where to start when it comes to Portuguese records.  Is there any online information?  I really have no idea where to start, so any guidance would be greatly appreciated. 

Thankyou

Hi Francisco

Thanks for taking the time to look for me, I greatly appreciate the effort.

Unfortunately, William Cockburn is no relation to my Henry (as far as I know, and I have this side of my family fairly well documented, thanks to SP).

I suppose it is also a possibility that he was cremated, and there probably wouldn't be a headstone in that case.

Thanks again for your time

Claire

Sorry for the slight delay in replying - thankyou ever so much for that lookup.

George was the brother of my 3xgt grandfather and your info has confirmed what I found on the IGI - I had hoped that perhaps his mother's maiden name was mentioned, but knew it was a long shot when I asked.  May have to dig deep and buy a certificate for one of the younger children.
It also seems to show that there were no other significant family events while they were living at Wreay, which means they weren't in the village for long.

Again, thankyou very much for taking the time to look for me, I'm very grateful
