Hi again Michael

Got your Greenhows on a very old file card but didn't have Abraham & Esther. Also knew Richard married a Mary but not that she was Jacques.

We have that their daughter Elizabeth bpt 3/7/1820 had an illegitimate son Joseph bapt 7/11/1835, Souterfell, Mungrisdale. The father was Joseph Jackson of Penrith.

Also their son John bpt 9/3/1842 at Fieldhead, we have as marrying Mary Hodgson. John was a stonemason, she a dressmaker. see below:-  :)

More interesting is that in 1861, John & Mary were living at High Folly, Thackthwaite, Watermillock with 2 children, Mary Ann age 11yrs & Abram J (sic). The "J" is Jacques! & he was bapt 29/5/1853 & Mary Ann 6/11/1849 both Watermillock.
BUT next door at Low Folly is our Joseph, a widower, with some of his children. Mary Ann (nee Taylor who I am trying to trace) was dead by this time.

On the same census is William Hodgson age 52 (a Stonemason) & his wife Ann age 44 living at Green Bank, Watermillock.....& guess what? her maiden name is Greenhow! So could William Hodgson be a brother to Mary Greenhow nee Hodgson?

Coincidence or what?! Confused....so are we.

There were other stonemason Greenhows in Watermillock too. We have not so far found a link to the other Greenhows or with your John next door to our Joseph. Surely though somewhere they all connect.

Even more.......William Hodgson & Ann had a son William Greenhow Hodgson & he died in 1922 & is buried in Watermillock. He married a Dorothy Ellen & they had a daughter Annie Alice (Wells) who died in 1969, still in Watermillock.

Hope you find the above useful & anymore info greatly appreciated especially on your Richard.

Margaret

How nice that you have made contact.  I have fiche reader but live in Sussex so not much help!  I have always assumed that you are from Walker, Michael.  One of my more eleusive ancestors gives that as her place of birth on every census but I have never found her!

How kind of you - address sent via pm.     My Allen family lived in Walker in the 1840s.   George Allen was a blacksmith but I think they were very poor from the sound of it.   His daughter Margaret, whose birth I have never found, married into my Brown ancestors who were even poorer!

Michael - Very many thanks.  The fiche arrived this morning.  I am going to have fun with those as I have Hamsterley ancestors too.
Margaret - I can confirm the marriage in 1837 but as it is an index it does not give further details so that does mean looking at the original register to see witnesses etc..

Hi Andrea & Michael,

Thanks for your efforts. It looks as though this will have to stay as a "pending" for a long while yet.  It's a long way from Inverness to Carlisle!  :(

Regards,
Margaret

Have you tried the Cumbria Family History group?  They are very active and may be able to help.
