Hi. Sorry I don't know anything about Dunsdale cottages but searching on the internet I see that the Ettrick Mill was on Dunsdale road.

If you can give us the name and year that the young boy died there may be a newspaper record - if there are any to be found at that time in that area.

The following website is where the local archives are kept. Perhaps if you emailed them they could tell you if there are any records from that time.

Good luck with your search.

The nearest I can find in earlier census returns for place of birth is:
1861 Egremont, Cumberland
Henry Dixon, Head, married, 36, Labourer, born Burn Elen, Cumberland
Jane, wife, 38, born Cockermouth, Cumberland
William, son, 1[8], unm, Labourer, born Bellingham, Northumberland
Jane Ann, dau, 11, unm, Scholar, born [Haltwhistle?], Northumberland
Hannah, dau, 7, unm, Scholar, born Hensingham, Cumberland
Henry, son, 5,      "         "                "
Hensingham is only 2 miles from Whitehaven.

1851 Census gives his father's birthplace as Maryport, Cumberland and occupation as Miner.
Other children: Isabella, 5, born Coldbeck, Cumberland and
James, 1, born Haltwhistle, Northumberland

There was a Henry Dixon christened Hensingham, Cumberland 8 June 1856. Parents were Henry Dixon and Jane [no surname given].

One to add to the list perhaps!

This could be their marriage in the Parish of Cam in the county of Gloucester, 1814:

William Powell of this parish and Betty Attwood of this Parish were married in this Church by Banns with Consent of Parents, this 14th day of February by me, William Fryer, Vicar.
signed: William Powell
           Betty Attwood [her mark]
In the presence of William Summers and Kezia Attwood [her mark].

I can only find one Elizabeth Powell with birthplace, Cam and in 1851 she was living at the same address as in 1861 - Spout House Lane, Cam.
She was Head, married [no husband living with her in either census], 68yrs, born Cam, Glouc;
Hannah Powell, daur, 17yrs, unmarried, Dressmaker, born Cam
Ellen Organ, lodger, 18yrs, unmarried, pauper, born Coaley;
Henry Whitfield, grandson, 4 yrs, born Hillsley.
Could this be the correct Elizabeth?

Hi Levley,
The following from familysearch.org is possibly your Catherine. Christened 18th June 1841, Eccles; Parents were Alexander Mossman and Mary Winter. This is available from the parish records online at scotlands people. These records don't always give much information. Sometimes they recorded the actual birth date and where the parents lived but this is not always the case.
