The only offering I have so far is the following, might be well outside of the box as they say but here goes
I have found the registration of James Roger Ownsworth MMN Leach 1874 Carlisle
BUT 1881
I have a family by the name of Ackland
William and Norah Ann
there is a son James R Slack born circa 1875, can't find his registration so far
William H Slack Ackland 1879 Cardiff
Walter months old born 1880 Cardiff
all with MMN Leach
I just wonder if there is any connection
Is it possible for you or someone to look at his baptism from the ledgers?
