I have the following place recorded as pob in Cumberland on numerous census recs.
Langwalkby
Barron Wood
Barn Wood
Does anyone know where they are ???
There seems to be a connection with Newbiggin.

I believe there are lots of Newbiggins.
Langwathby? http://tinyurl.com/ypxcsx (also a Newbiggin in view)

that looks like the one. ;D Was it in Cumberland?
also on the same record is pob "Stainforth" which becomes "Dents Head" in the following Census ???
next to Stainforth there's a "Borrins Wood" could this be Baron Wood or Barnwood? ???
-
what about "Cugat, Cumberland" ???

Following the railway northwards from Stainforth (about 6 miles along), there is Dent Head Farm.
I can only find it as Borrins Wood on old maps - but this doesn't mean it was the wrong place.
For old maps, see www.old-maps.co.uk (Stainforth is in Yorks, but it may not always have been so.)

Culgat could be Culgaith which is near Langwathby and a Newbiggin.
