Cumberland / Re: Some help with place names?
« on: Saturday 18 August 07 12:11 BST (UK)  »
Thank you to all who have replied here...sorry i didn't get back sooner...been on holiday! Thanks especially to Gadget... I think its very likely to be Orton Rigg...right area, near enough to Wetheral where her husband was from. The Great Orton records are on the IGI but sadly she didn't seem to marry there so may be another brick wall till I can find her maiden name...still I'll know where to look now.  :D
 Rosemary....Yes that was the right 1841 address...they moved to Durham between 1838 and 1840.
 Judy.....Elizabeth was born in c 1794 so before birth certs, but thanks to all for your suggestions.

Thank you Elizabeth. Great site ...my husband loves old maps so will be delighted with it!. Thanks for your comment Andrea...I did wonder if there was a place called something like Attrick or Uttrick in the area...maybe a local person would know? ...but as the census was taken in Durham where they wouldn't know Cumbria then the ennumerator may have just written what he thought he heard and it could be anywhere!! I can't find any records of the christening of Joseph though the Wetherel records are on the IGI....maybe they were non-conformist? Oh well.... :(

Hello. I have and Elizabeth married to Joseph Copeland whose place of birth in the 1861 census is  given as Attrick Cumberland  and in the 1851 as Uttrick. The only place that I can find which might fit is Ettrick in Scotland but would be grateful if anyone with a better knowledge of Cumberland could shed some light? Her husband was born in Wetheral (I think! difficult writing in census) and her sons in Hesket before they moved to Durham.  ??? :DThank you Maggie

Hi all.
Would I be right in thinking that in 1861 a "son-in-law" aged 13 is most likely to be a step son? ???

Oxfordshire Lookup Requests / GRIGSON in Bicester
« on: Friday 25 May 07 17:03 BST (UK)  »
Hello. I wonder if there is anyone who could look at the Bicester records for me, to clear up a slight mystery.
I am looking for the birth of William John GRIGSON who a/c the 1851 census was born around 1820 in Bicester to Thomas William and Mary Ann Grigson. They had a son baptised 14th June 1818 called John William GRIGSON and what I am trying to work out is whether he died soon after birth and so they swapped the names round for the next son, or whether William John/John William are the same person who simply prefered William as a name in adult life?  ??? ??? ???
(Am also interested if there is any reference to these parents having a son called Thomas, born c 1819?)
Many thanks
Maggie
