Could someone please assist me by looking up the birth / christening & marriage of Abraham Hartley - according to family search he was born 1806 in Egremont and married Elizabeth Collier 6th Aug 1831

thanks in advance

Censuses 1851-71 all give his birthplace as Cleator, probably born 1804/5.

Unfortunately, Cleator baptisms in the IGI don't start until 1813.

what a bummer - thanks for letting me know and taking the time to reply
I wonder how I can find this information out - is there any other way of sourcing this information that you know of?
thanks

Try asking Whitehaven Records Office - the worst that can happen is they can say "No".

If that doesn't work, try Carlisle ... or Barrow (links on left of page) http://www.cumbria.gov.uk/archives/recordoffices/whrec.asp

Hi.

Abraham Hartley died at Beck Green Egremont Oct 1876. He was buried 3 Oct 1876 in Section A  Uncon  Grave 5. Age at death 72. Elizabeth was buried with him 7 Dec 1883.  Age at death 80. The grave was purchased by John & Abraham Hartley (Spade Shaft Manufacturers. John was his son born 1846
The family search date of death at 1908 would be incorrect.
His parents I have seen listed as Henry Hartley 1774 Cumberland & Eleanor Thompson 1777 - 1845. They are listed on the 1841 census in Egremont. Henry died between 1841 and 1851. Eleanor 1845.

Hope this is of some help.
