Title: Cowperthwaites of Orton
Post by: Rumba on Friday 24 October 08 22:45 BST (UK)

I am trying to find info on Robert Cowperthwaites (B.1826) wife Agnes Thompson or Stringer. I see she has a daughter Mary Jane Stringer.
Also drawn a blank on their sons wife Annie Knowles (B 1874) their son being Thomas Cowperthwate (B 17.6.1871-1930).
Would be gratefull, then can fill in remaining  GGGrandparents.
They are all believed to have lived in the Orton westmorland area.
Thanks.

Try the igi www.familysearch.org unless you are prepared to buy certificates.

I can see an 1826  baptism there.

Hi Rumba
Just wondered if you had seen Pauline's reply and managed to find the baptism.  If not let us know and someone will give you details of how to look at the IGI.

Hello,
I have info on Robert Cowperthwaite, it is his wife I am struggling with, Agnes Thompson or Stringer, obviously married before she married Robert, I dont know, only has a daughter Mary Jane Stringer?
Also Agnes and Robert had a son Thomas, my gggrandfather and his wife also remains a mystery, Annie Knowles B1874.
I know the Cowperthwaites around Orton area are pretty common and have taken a lot of sorting, just hope i am on the right ones, any info really really appreciated.
Thankyou.
