I am looking for information on the couple Joseph TODD and Dinah MOUNSEY, married 5 Jun 1782 Dacre:
Joseph TODD
b. cir 1760 Watermillock
Dinah MOUNSEY
b. 1756 Dacre
children (all born Dacre):
Sarah b. 1783
Thomas b. 1784
Mary b. 1787
Jane b. 1789
Elizabeth b. 1791
Hannah b. 1793
Joseph b. 1796
Isaac b. 1798
John b. 1801
Dinah b. 1803
(Elizabeth TODD later married John ELLIOT, 1809 Watermillock)
I have found 1 possible match for Dinah MOUNSEY, via IGI, for a christening, but cannot confirm link as yet; and there are too many Joseph TODD's to pin down a correct match.
Any help most appreciated, TIA. :)

If you try cumbriapast.com which is the site of the cumberland and westmorland antiquarian society, you will find Dacre records were their first ever transcriptions (1912) so they probably have what you want but will have to pay for it. bob

Thank you, bob, I will check it out. 8)

Bob is right in what he says about the CWAA Society but the book has been out of print for at least 60 years and the CWAAS do not run a research service. The CArlisle office of the Cumbria Archive Service are very helpful on quick look-ups. Their number is #44 1228 227285. According to the Friends of Cumbria Archives newsletterhey are on email at
carlisle.archives AT cumbria.gov.uk

I should have said that the Carlisle Archive Centre is closed until Tuesday 3 January 2012 when they will reopen at 09.30 GMT

Thanks, clearly.
I did go to the website and found that I could only go on further to links suggested for research, which I have bookmarked for looking at more closely.
Phoning the office is unfortunately out, being from overseas, but I can try emailing once I have enough confident data for them to look up, thanks.
I have just been watching some episodes of Who Do You Think You Are? and envying the celebrities their place-hopping abilities... :)

Yeah, it's a pity they weren't a bit more truthful on WDYTYA. What they don't say is that a researcher has visited somewhere two months beforehand and the information is spoonfed to the celebrity. Sometimes it's a total sham.
By the way, PM me if you want me to take a look at Carlisle Archives for you, they are only a ten minute walk away.
