Thanks for the replies.
Jean, I don't have any more info yet, I only know the names of owners of the mill but trying to get more details.

Sylvia,
Your records tie in well with the dates that I have.  I got the dates from a book about Westmorland water mills, the author had got the dates from a trade directory.  The mill and farm still exist (my brother owns the mill, hence my interest).  I still have some papers to look through, so will report back if anything interesting comes up.

Thanks for your help
David

I'm looking for information re. a William Park who owned Mill Bridge Mill, a corn / malt mill near Stainton, Kendal in 1829.
The two subsequent owners are listed as Thomas Hayhurst in 1849, and Gilbert Hayhurst in 1869-85.  The owner before William Park was Thomas Howden (in 1797).
I see from the forum and my own searching so far that there are links between the Park and the Hayhurst families.
Does anyone have any documents mentioning the Mill Bridge Mill by any chance?

David
