Cumberland / Re: Tates of Longtown
« on: Monday 26 July 10 10:34 BST (UK)  »
Thanks. The info. was obtained for me by a friend but lacked the exact date and the church. I suppose I would have to see the parish records to find out further info. about Robert's and Elizabeth's backgrounds, parents etc. Do you know if the Arthuret parish records are in the Archives or C.R.O in Carlisle or are both these in the same place? I am coming to England to go to  Longtown and Carlisle in September and don't want to waste time trying to find out where things are as my time there will be limited. I imagine these records are no longer held at the church. Thank you again for your help.

Family History Beginners Board / 1841 or later marriage of John Tate and Caroline Flexen.

Although I have found a census entry for 1841 which shows them living in the same street which is presumably when they met, I cannot find a marriage for them despite the numerous children they produced. They were my great grandparents. Maybe they didn't bother! (How modern of them.)

Family History Beginners Board / Re: Anyone know where surname Bangor originates from?
« on: Sunday 25 July 10 08:55 BST (UK)  »
Your Bangor ancestors were probably from Bangor in Wales and acquired the name when people were identified from their place of domicile eg Ralph of Chester, David of Bangor etc The Scottish origin is probably a red herring. My g.g.grandmother was supposed to be Scottish but came in fact from Newcastle on Tyne. The Northumbrian accent has a Scottish resonance to people who are unfamiliar with either.

Cumberland / Tates of Longtown

 ???I am up against a brick wall in my attempt to trace my Tate family in Longtown further back than the 19th century.The furthest I've managed to get is the marriage of Robert Tate and Elizabeth Tinniswood circa 1781 but I don't know whether that occurred in Longtown (Arthuret) or elsewhere and have no information of their parentage and background. Any info. or pointers would be gratefully received as I'm 12,000 miles away!
