Cumberland / Re: question to any Cumbria experts out there

Wow, that's really great. I wonder if there is a family tree for the 'old' Lawson family somewhere. Of course I'm sure that my ancestor, Sarah Lawson, was disowned by the family when she eloped to Gretna Green with John Cockburn.
Still it's all very interesting family history to pass on.

Hmm!! Wonder if they have overnight flights from Atlanta to Carlisle or does it mean I have to go thru Manchester?
I'll have to see if my cousin in Newcastle or my favorite brother in the boro will help me out.

I believe it is the Carlisle area. Brayton Hall is where the Lawsons lived and apparently the youngest daughter of Sir Alfred Lawson ran off to Gretna around 1750 with one of my Cockburn relatives and got married, much to the dismay of her family.

I wondered if anyone would have more info on them.

My mother's family are descendents from the Lawson's. Sir Alfred Lawson's daughter Sarah married William Cockburn and one of the son's is in our family tree.
Can anyone tell me the best source for information on births, marriages and deaths say from 1700 to 1770 in Cumberland?

Thanks Joe A
