So far I can confirm your information on John son of John and Elizabeth born 8 Jan 1805,

I have looked and came up with:

a William Mitchell (soldier) married Mary McMina April 8th 1799

a John Mitchell (soldier) married Hannah Cummins Nov 13th 1813

a Thomas Mitchell (surgeon) married Isobell Mossop Mar 17th 1822, who had a daughter Mary bapt Aug 3 1829

I don't know if these are yours as they are all Holy Trinity, not St James

Still looking for a John son of Thomas

What a kind offer, Andrew - I was so annoyed at not having   managed myself during my recent holiday with family to Cumbria.

If the records office have anything for All Saints, Cockermouth, I would really appreciate if you could have a look for the following:

Wilford (Wilfred?) Cape married an Elizabeth Swinburn on 21 December 1818 at All Saints (guessing at moment that they are my line) -  hopeful of any additional details re this marriage and possibly any sign of children (in particular if there was a John/Jonathon born about 1820). If I am onto the right family, Elizabeth looks to have been head of household at 1841, assume Wilfred dead by then, with John and Dinah living at same address with baby Wilfred (certain this Wilfred is 'mine').

Said John/Jonathan Cape marrying a Dinah (surname not known) possibly just pre 1837 (believe they in turn had a Wilfred born 1841 - will be ordering this cert from GRO).

Thanks in advance.


By the way, I searched around the graveyard at All Saints  for any sign of this lot but only found one Cape gravestone - a William died 1848 aged 75 and wife Jane died 1850 aged 79 - no one could find this couple in 1841 Census for area  (don't even know if they tie in anywhere with 'my' lot).

I had a quick look in the Cockermouth All Saints records and I can confirm the marriage between a Wilfred Cape and Elizabeth Swinburn but I'll give you the references in case you need them:

Microfilm JAC 448, PR136/263, page 97 the marriage was by licence

I have searched about five years either side of 1820, to find a baptism of John without success, but, I have found the folowing:

Bapt 26 Sept 1899
William son of George and Jane Cape, Weaver, Cockermouth, JAC447,PR136/258 page 88

Bapt 13 July 1824
Anne Daugt of Joseph and Mary Cape, Miller, Cockermouth, JAC447 PR136/258 page 113

I will be back tomorrow, but have an appointment mid afternoon

I hope this doesn't confuse

Thanks for those - couldn't you find 3 and 4 or did you just forget to mention them?  And thanks for the burial - what a nice way to spend Christmas Day!

I see FreeBMD has a death for a John PENNINGTON in Q3 1852 - any chance you could check for a burial at HT please?
