Cumberland / Re: William Gillbanks of Red Sykes, Matterdale.
« on: Tuesday 27 August 24 05:44 BST (UK) »
Such and old post, but for many years I seem to get "pulled" back to this thread (Matterdale, Threlkeld, Gillbanks (and its variations), Relph etc.) , so to help complete the circle I have registered and here are some further details, linked to my part of the Gillbanks family.
I am the grt, grt grandson of one of the men who moved to Ingleton, Joseph (1801 - 1886), who founded the Masons Arms pub in Ingleton in the 1840s.
Joseph did have a family, his son Joseph George ("George") emigrated to New Zealand in 1879, and ended up marrying and settling in Karamea on the west coast of the South Island.
I currently live in Christchurch, New Zealand, but was born in Karamea.
