Hi Morskaj, Many thanks for your reply & apologies for my delay.
In Sheffield St. in 1901, the family head was a retired calico printer, I've no idea where he came from or which firm he worked for, & I only have a birth certificate dated 1888 for Lorne St. As you can see, it's all a bit vague. You mentioned archives in Carlisle Castle, do you happen to know if they are accessible on line, & if so what the web address is? Incidently,I have'nt knowingly been to Lorne St,& I only stayed the one night in Sheffield St back in the mid 60's, so that's all a bit vague as well, although I seem to remember a fairly, longish road with terrace houses & front doors opening onto the pavement. I shall now continue digging. Kiowa
