Thanks Alan, you have actually shown me the way to go regarding getting a clearer view of "who lived where" and will put it into practice for 1871 & 1881 census. Thanks. Sue

Jill, I have just taken a look at the census and see Dickinsons were in a cottage near to Loughrigg Farm and also Whangs Quarry.  Also he was a stone-merchant.  The No. 12 actually refers to the Schedule No. for the census.  If I am not mistaken there were two cottages near to Loughrigg Farm.   This cottage was home to another Doloughan - Henry my grt-grt-grandfather and he lived there from the mis-1860's to 1879 probably straight after your relative. 
From all the research I have done I do recognise the Dickinson name but will have to gather my wits together to come up with info.  Sue

Hi Jill, no sorry, my info is all Nicholsons or Bank End.  I was just going to take a look at the 1851 census to see Dickinsons, but an important point is, there was more than one quarry at Bank End, borne out by the fact that an Association of Bank End Quarries was formed in the 1890's by John Smith, the builder.  Bank End was a large area and initially owned by St. Bees Church and the main quarry took it's name from the area.  My grandfather owned Bank End Quarry from 1901 until McKays bought it in 1909.  Alexander Doloughan was also a Quarry Manager there for his brother John.  There seems to have been many proprietors for just one quarry, but I am still finding out how it all worked!

Hi Jilly,  I am Susan Robertson, nee Doloughan & I am also looking at Bank End and also Nicholsons, as Agnes Doloughan married John Nicholson a joiner, and one of their sons Alexander  emigrated to Wisconsin in 1913.  I am in touch with his grand-daughter who is looking for relatives. 
Bank End - John Nicholson, his grandfather  was the proprietor in 1829 of Bank End, (I think it was also known as Pallaflat). His widow Martha and family lived there until she died.  I have quite a bit of info. on the Nicholsons and have a tree on "ancestry".  I am not sure how to get in touch with you to exchange info.

Hello Andrew, I am Susan Robertson (nee Doloughan) and am looking into my family history which is very tied up with Bank End Quarry,  My g/father Henry James Doloughan owned it for a few years around 1901 but the family had lived, worked, been born and died there from the 1860's.  I am busy at the moment doing a breakdown of the census available of the families living there.  My father, Harry Doloughan was probably the last Doloughan born there in 1905.  I saw from one of your messages you had a photograph of the cottages there and would really appreciate a download if it is not too much trouble.  If you still have an interest in Bank End I can pass on info. I am busy with.
Susan Robertson
