Westmorland Lookup Requests / Re: GARNETT Family in Crosthwaite & Lyth, Heversham and Kendal
« on: Thursday 26 November 20 11:18 GMT (UK)  »
Hi Adey,

Unfortunately, there are some errors in your research there. We may be connected somewhere along the line, but the William Garnett you mention who was the son of William Garnett and Eleanor Bindloss is not the same William Garnett (my ancestor) who married Jane Armistead. William Garnett and Jane Armistead only had 3 children, my ancestor Nancy (1819-1877), Sarah (1826-1917), and Anthony (1830-1901). Jane was William's second wife, as he was widowed from Hannah Prickett, with whom he had one child, William (1807-1887). He didn't have a son called George and there was no connection to Tatham as they all lived in Milnthorpe near Heversham all their lives, although William was born in nearby Old Hutton. I've done a lot of research on this branch over the years and have all the original sources to confirm this. I'd be happy to have a look for you and check the origin of your George, if you like.

Best wishes,
Steve

Yes, I'm completely at a loss with this. I've tried travel records too, but can't find him anywhere..

Hi,

He was an unmarried man throughout his life, to my knowledge. The 1901 and 1911 censuses state he was still unmarried. His occupation was farm labourer.

Thanks,

Steve

Hello,

I have revisited my research notes, and to my knowledge I cannot prove a descent from the George Garnett mentioned in my first post above. The earliest known Garnett ancestor in my line is William Garnett (c.1786-1859) who was married to my ancestress Jane Armistead. I am keen to trace his baptism record and his parents' names, but I have yet to discover a baptism for him in Old Hutton, Westmorland, which was his place of birth according to the 1851 census entry. One record which often surfaces online is a baptism of a William Garnett in Heversham, on 27 August 1786, the son of William Garnett and Eleanor Bindloss. I can safely rule this out, as that William can be traced elsewhere in later life. Any help to trace the baptism of the correct William would be gratefully received!

Kind regards,

Steve Wilkinson

Westmorland Lookup Requests / Garnett Family in Crosthwaite & Lyth, Heversham and Kendal
« on: Sunday 04 December 16 18:47 GMT (UK)  »
Hello there,

Has anyone been researching the Garnett family which was prominent in Crosthwaite & Lyth, Westmorland, in the eighteenth century? I am descended from George Garnett (1702-1783) who was born in Crosthwaite and died in Heversham. I understand there may be a connection to the Anthony Garnett of the sixteenth century Castle Dairy house in Kendal, and ergo to the noble Parr family. Certainly the name Anthony Garnett is a recurring name throughout the generations of Garnetts in my family. I would be keen to hear from anyone who has a shared connection or further information. Any assistance or directions would be greatly appreciated.

Kind regards,
Steve Wilkinson

Armed Forces / Re: Paying to leave the Army in the late 1880's?
« on: Saturday 11 October 14 16:48 BST (UK)  »
Hello Ken & Jan,

Thanks very much for your replies.

My ancestor was apparently in the Royal Horse Guards. I know he spent some time still working for the military in the early 1900's, and possibly served in World War One (although by this time he would have been in his fifties). He was in Aldershot with his family at the time of the 1901 Census, working as a Ward Nurse at the Cambridge Military Hospital, and worked in the Army Mess just before that. Do either of you know if muster rolls are available at any online source?

Kind regards,

Steven
