Thank you so much for this info, it clarifys a Morecambe connection which i'd heard from a relative but up until now was only hearsay. Hopefully I can build on this and will get futher back through the generations. Thanks again.

Cumberland / Looking for Walker family ancestors
« on: Tuesday 04 September 12 12:37 BST (UK)  »
I'm having major problems tracking down the Walker family who resided at Embleton near Cockermouth. I am researching Thomas Walker (1897-1972) who married Emma Brakewell. I know Thomas's father was Robert Walker and his mother was Barbara Reynolds but that is where the search drys up. Allegedly there is an Irish connection somewhere down the line but at the moment that is just hearsay. Any information will be greatly appreciated.

Hi, I have been given a name which my family is allegedly connected to which is "le prevot" or "le prevost" which hails from the channel isles. The branch of my family it relates to is "stephens" who were in the marytavy area of devon in the 1700's to late 1800's. If anyone has any information about this connection i'd be very grateful.

England / Re: Calling descendants of the union of Bennett PENROSE of Sennen and Jane Lanion

Hi Chris
After researching my family tree i discovered that i also am a descendant of Bennett Penrose and Jane Lanion, coming down the William Penrose line. I have gone as far back as the early 1100's, which has certainly been interesting. Now that i have names, places and dates i would really like to build up a picture of what these individual people were actually like and the lives they led. Was it that they moved through Cornwall to follow work in the mines or did they do other jobs? Any information you have on this would be much appreciated.
