A branch of the Storey family lived at Stavely, Troutbeck near Windermere in the Lake District.

The Storeys in Troutbeck were in the Isle of Man up to 1805.

A book i once read called STOREYS OF LANCASTER published in about the 1950's might be of interest it mentions the Troutbeck and Furness Peninsula branches of the family . The book is probably available in Lancaster libary or the records office, Storey's were a very important family in the Lancaster area and pioneered the manufacturing of linoleum in the town .
One member of the Troutbeck family had a farm called Limefitt in 1851 he also had common rights in the neighbouring Kentmere valley

Hi:
I ran into another descendant of John Dent Fothergill and he just messaged me about the Storey family at Deepgill. I thought tht surely you two were in contact. Do you know David Cousins?
To: David Cousins
David:
I was glad to get the information on Thomas Story. I have a Thomas Storey Marrying an Isabel Fothergill in 1799 and living at Birk Rigg. Must have been a descendant of the Deepgill Thomas Story.

Hello Ron,
I wonder if you can help me please. In your entry of 24 March 2010 you mention Thomas Storey marrying Isabel Fothergill on 10th June 1799 in Kirby Stephen.
They did live at Birkrigg and would be very interested to learn more about them, as I am also a descendant.
Could you expand on where Deep Gill is please, as from my research there were no Storeys in the Deep Gill in Mallerstang.
I am looking for the father of thomas Storey Senior.
Any information would be greatfully received.
Regards
Loupasgroupies.

Hi Loupasgroupies
In Isabel Fothergills father Roberts will of 1812 the Storeys were at Thrang House which is close to Birkrigg beside the present day road . The fothergills were at Deep gill before they moved across the valley to Birkrigg . Isabel was deceased at the time of her fathers death.
When Robert died he was at Croanberry which is also nearby. Robert also had a son John from a second marriage to a Agnes Brunskill born around 1780 he left most of his estate to them and John was probably living at Birkrigg at the time of his death. The Storey children were left two pounds ten shillings each when they reached the age of 21 .
Most of the Storey children moved over the county border into Yorkshire further down the Wensleydale valley .
I believe the Fothergill side of the family were the ones that were at Deepgill

Hi Jax, I have Story/Storey ancestors from round that way I think, my Family Tree is just loading up now.
Ah, done. The first one I reach going back from myself is an Elizabeth Story christened to Anthony at Heversham in 1697, she married a Robert Jackson at Heversham in 1722. They're my 8 times great grandparents.
I think Elizabeth's parents were an Anthony Story and Margaret Torver who marred at Heversham in 1696.
Robert and Elizabeth Jackson's daughter Agnes is my line who married at Underbarrow in 1755.
If you're linked to this family this page looks like it might be interesting for you, I think the Elizabeth Jackson mentioned in this is the one i've mentioned, also a George Atkinson of Underbarrow is mentioned, Robert and Elizabeth had a daughter called Agnes who married a George Atkinson at Underbarrow in 1755 (they're my 7 times great grandparents)

Hope this is a good find for you as well :)

I found that website the other day, might be a very useful website! I think the Anthony who left that will from Heversham dated 1757 is an ancestor of mine. I'll have to try and get a copy of the will.

Thank you all for your interest and replies. I do apologise for not replying sooner.
I do not have the parents of John Storey, so I am stuck at present and unsure where to go next. I have also struggled to find a death for either John or Ann, There are too many to choose!
Unfortunately I cannot find any link in the Storeysof old, which is a pity, maybe because I have so little information going backwards.
I will keep plugging and see what happens. I have put my small Storey tree on A******Y so maybe something will come from that.
thanks again
Jacqui
