Hi,

Just started doing some research on the Dixons, as Margaret Dixon looks to be my g-grandmother also.  My grandfather was her son Herbert.  What was your connection?

Hi Tony,
I was most interested in your addition to the Rootschat.  We certainly have a lot of ancestors in common - Marshalls and Dixons for a kickoff!!  I have more old photos of some of the Marshalls if you are interested and I have done a fair bit of digging on both ancestral lines - it would be nice to compare notes.  My email address is      if you would like to contact me.

Hi All

Sorry to come in on this thread but Seathwaite Wad caught my eye. My hubbie and I know of Ian Tyler the author, I don't know whether he would be able to give you any more info. He owns the mining museum in Keswick.

Hi,

Thanks for the information.  My wife and I were planning to go up to the Lakes soon, so we will seek out the mining museum.

Regards,

Tony Marshall

Hi

I have a lot of Dixon's connected to my Stephenson line from Ulpha and Seathwaite.

If anyone has any information on my 6th gr grandmother Elizabeth Dixon b1714 in Coniston I would be eternally grateful.  She married Moses Stephenson on 17th April 1742 at St John the Baptist, in Ulpha.

Hi Cowden,

I noticed your post re George Henry Marshall;  my g-grandfather was William Henry Marshall b. about June 1857 in Barnsley, Yorkshire;  he married Charlotte (Bray?) in 1878 and they had 4 sons, Albert, Walter, William Henry (my grandfather) and Joseph Arthur.

The photo of Henry Marshall is so like our family;  I wondered whether you had any knowledge of these Marshalls - would appreciate any info at all.  I have not been able to find parents for William Henry b. 1857, but his grandfather was Thomas Marshall, b. about 1808 (as per 1881 Census when he and his wife were living with Thomas as 17 Burleigh Street, Barnsley).

Regards,

Tisy
