Rutland / Richard Wade High Sheriff of Rutland
« on: Saturday 24 July 10 23:16 BST (UK)  »
Hello I am researching my Wade relatives in Uppingham Rutland, my Grandfather was Joseph Wade born Uppingham 1885, his father was Joseph Wade born Uppingham 1852 and his father was Thomas Wade  b. 1818, Ayston, Rutland. Richard Wade who was High Sheriff of Rutland in 1836 was of Uppingham, Rutland.  I am wondering if the Richard who was High Sheriff was related to my Wades.  I would appreciate any help on this matter.
Thanks

I am trying to find information regarding my Grandfather Joe Wade.  All I know is that he owned the Derwent Lodge in Portinscale, near Keswick, Cumberland with his first wife in about 1920.  He seperated from his wife and bought High Snab Farm, in the Newlands Valley

Cumberland Lookup Requests / Postlethwaite Brickwall
« on: Thursday 02 October 08 17:02 BST (UK)  »
Hello,  I am having difficulty in finding my 2 x Grandfather Matthew Postlethwaite b abt 1820 Dalton, Lancashire.  Is there any way I can find his parents bearing in mind I cannot find his baptism details nor his marriage details.  He does appear on the census returns for 1861 to 1891 living in Keswick, Cumberland with Esther.

As I have visited both Barrow in Furness and Carlisle RO and not been able to find Matthews baptism or marrige details does this mean I have come to the end of the line regarding my postlethwaite ancestry or are there any other ways I can find Matthew's parents?

Thanks

Cumberland Lookup Requests / Marriage look up please Crosthwaite, Keswick, Cumberland
« on: Wednesday 17 September 08 11:10 BST (UK)  »
Hi am trying to find the marriage of Esther Holmes b 1831 christened 16 October 1831 at Crosthwaite, Keswick, Cumberland daughter of George Holmes and Mary (nee Tyson).  I beleive she married Matthew Postlethwaite although I cannot find any trace of Matthews birth apart from census returns where it states either b 1821 Dalton or Dalton in Furness Lancashire. 

I suppose it may have been that they never married as I can find her sister Grace's marriage to Thomas Greenwood 1859 but not Esther and Matthews.

Any help or advice regarding this matter would be very helpful.

Thank you
