I am looking for any information on Bare Syke Cottage, Backbarrow, Ulverston, Colton.
I understand that
Thomas Atkinson (b. 28 Aug 1823 in Lancaster - d. Apr 1892 in Ulverston, Lancashire), married to
Ann ? (b. 1821 in Lancashire - d. 27 Feb 1884 in Lancaster) lived their between 1881 and 1891.
He is shown as both a Wood Hoop Maker and Basket Maker.
Prior to this he is shown:
1861   Causeway End, Colton, Haverthwaite
1871   Bower Cottage, Colton, Haverthwaite    Wood Hoop Maker

His daughter Annie or Ann (b.abt 1852 in Liverpool, Lancashire) also lived their between 1881 and 1911.
She shown as a Dressmaker and later as a ' Sick Nursing'.

Any information on the area, the family or the cottage would be appreciated.

Backbarrow is just of the modern A590, in Cumbria,
a few minutes walk from Haverthwaite,depending on how fast you walk,

for church records for the time scale you are looking at they would come under Lancashire,

Hi Bob.... we seem to be researching the same Thomas Akinson may I ask your interest in this property or family?

You will notice in the 1891 census that Bare Syke House was the next house.

A house is labelled Bare Syke at http://www.old-maps.co.uk/maps.html?coords=335500,484500

Choose (on right) the 1971 1:2500 map

I think it must be this house http://tinyurl.com/5tw5h2n

If you don't believe me, see http://tinyurl.com/64wfyrs

I'm sure Bare Syke Cottage must be adjacent, perhaps the one to the left.  In fact if you look at the 1913 1:2500 map, you'll see the other neighbouring house Brewer Wood Cottage a short distance to the SW.

so why the interest in the property?

I am researching early East London photographers.
William Atkinson (born 1859 in Liverpool, Lancashire) Occupation: Photographer was Thomas Atkinson (born abt 1823 in Skearton, Lancashire) was his son.

Was wondering if you were referring to William a photographer in Eastbourne because he is supposed to have a brother called George therefore Thomas is unlikely to be his father. Our Thomas did live at that address, Causeway & Bower Cottages. Thomas & Ann had four children Ann 1852, Thomas 1855, William 1858 all born in Liverpool brother James 1860 at Causeway End, Colton. Do you think that William was a portrait artist in Carlisle because I think his father was not Thomas but William? (1881c)

No response...... so maybe William Atkinson was brother to my Great Grandfather James born 1860 Colton - maiden name of Thomas' wife Ann Rhodes.
