Westmorland / Re: Willan/Shalmerdine

Chris,

That's brilliant - many, many thanks. It's interesting to see that John was a widower and that Anne is described as being 'of Kendal' as she's the only Shalmerdine/Shelmerdine I can find in Westmorland - most seem to be in the Manchester/Cheshire area.

Thanks again, and for checking this for me so speedily,

Tish

Westmorland / Willan/Shalmerdine

I am having trouble I tracking down the actual church/chapel for a marriage I found on the IGI: John Willan and Anne Shalmerdine on 24 Sept 1758 in 'Kendal'. It's not clear to me if this is a marriage at Holy Trinity Church in Kendal or elsewhere. If anyone can help me to locate it, or has further information on either John Willan or Anne Shalmerdine, I'd be very grateful. Thanks

Chris,

Thanks for your personal message to which I didn't seem to be able to reply. Thanks for offering to look the marriage up and I will do as you suggest and start a new topic (I'm very new to this!).

Chris,

Your note that the Holy Trinity records include those of outlying chapels might help explain the trouble I have had tracking down the actual church/chapel for a marriage I found on the IGI; John Willan and Anne Shalmerdine on 24 Sept 1758 in 'Kendal'. It's not clear to me if this is a marriage at Holy Trinity or elsewhere. If anyone can help me to locate it, or has further information on either John Willan or Anne Shalmerdine, I'd be very grateful. Thanks

At the end of the 18th C, Kendal Parish included the outlying villages, which all had their own chapel. Some were improved or rebuilt and became churches in their own right by the implementation of the Parochial registers Act or Rose's Act of 1812, but these are the C.E. chapels I was refering to. I also forgot about the All Hallows chapel on Fellside which William may have gone to.

I should perhaps just clarify that whilst there are not many missing entries on the IGI for Holy Trinity (Parish Church), there are quite a lot missing from these chapels. It is also confusing due to the fact that these chapels transcribed entries annually into the Parish Records at Holy Trinity, and so a lot of IGI entries are stated as Kendal before 1813 (meaning Kendal Parish), where in actual fact the event took place in one of the villages.

I know none of this will help you get any further back Jill, but it may help if you decide to look sideways at other family members.

Chris
