Cumberland / Holm Cultram, The last resting place of Ann Hutchinson
« on: Sunday 20 June 21 21:55 BST (UK)  »
Ann Hutchinson was buried at Holm Cultram on February 15th, 1848.
I'm trying to locate her burial plot.
I'm aware that a fire in 2006 destroyed burial plot records, but I wondered if copies were held anywhere else, or if anyone employed there prior to 2006 may remember if there was a headstone or anything that might help me.
Thanks in advance

Technical Help / Surname Mapping.
« on: Tuesday 05 May 20 14:02 BST (UK)  »
Hi
I want to map the geographical spread of some of my ancestors. I know they originated in Scotland, then spread across the border into Cumberland, Northumberland, Durham, Yorkshire, Lincolnshire, and so on.
Does anyone know of a program where I could input parish baptism records, then produce a county/town map showing when and where the family spread to over the decades/centuries
Thanks in advance

The Common Room / What is a 'Kechman"
« on: Sunday 26 May 19 12:29 BST (UK)  »
Hi
I'm transcribing a Quarter Sessions examination from 1786 and have come across this strange word.
It's used twice in the document, once after Robert Cunningham's (11th line down of the body of text) name and again after Robert French's name (13th line).
In both these cases it looks to me, more like Keelman. However, I've found a newspaper article on the case, where it shows Kechman.
Anyone have ideas ?
Thanks in advance
