Hi Karen,
No, Whitehaven is in the parish of St Bees but I did not check the town of St Bees just Whitehaven.
I have had a quick look in St Bees and they're not there either, sorry :'(

Ok thanks for trying anyway. I will have to try and work out where they could be.
All I know is George Wells 1830 was born in St Bees and in 1861 he lived in Arlecdon and so did his father Benjamin.
Maybe Arlecdon?
Thanks
Karen
