Hello again,

I see that (except for me) nobody has replied to this thread for over a year. Is there anyone still watching here, who might be able to connect me with Nick Dent (user name Flass). As I noted earlier, I hope he and I might be able to connect our ancestral families together. Thanks very much.

Tom

Hi Tom,

Try sending Nick a personnel message.

Hi Gillian,

Thanks for the suggestion; I would like to send him a personal message. However, the RootsChat rules say I can't do that until I have posted public messages 3 times.

Fortunately, this reply to you is now my third posting. :-)  So I'll attempt to send Nick a personal message right after this.  If that doesn't work for some reason, would you mind if I post here again and ask you to send him a message for me, since he doesn't seem to be watching here any more?

Thanks for your help.

Tom

Hi Tom,

If he doesn't reply, maybe he has changed his email address & has not updated his Rootschat account.

Just come across this thread, whilst looking for something totally different (as one does!).

Somewhat irrelevant in a way, but my ancestors had Maulds Meaburn Mill from 1780s for almost a century - namely John and Mary (CLARK) ROBINSON, then one of their sons Robert Robinson.

I'm also trying to find the location of Crosby Ravensworth mill - any information?

Well this has been a long going thread, I thought I would try my luck and see if anyone can help.

Firstly this is really a question about the Crosby Ravensworth archives I did ask on another thread how you can find out when it is open.

I am related to the Rigg/Ellwood families. I wondered if Gigi could let me know if we are connected. My 2x gt gd father is John Ellwood b 1826. He marries Elizabeth Hastwell (connection here possibly to the Faraday family) but there is also a connection between the Hastwells and Dents in Kirkby Stephen area don't know if there is some link with these Dents.

Hope someone can help

regards
Helene

Hi Helene,

Do you have any more info about your John Ellwood, place of birth, parents.....

Regards,

Gillian

His father was William Ellwood b1795 Crosby Ravensworth and Ann Rigg b1801.

John b1826 was a lead miner in 1861 and 1871, then moved to Butterknowle in 1881 and finally he was a farmer living in Priory Building Cockerton, he lived with his sister in law Isabella Hastwell as his wife Elizabeth had died in 1868. Is this enough info

Crosby Ravensworth archives I turned up at the door towards the end last year we had been for a weekend over the lakes and popped into CR on our way home. A notice on the archive door has three or four numbers you can ring for group members a gentleman came and opened up for me to look round I think the group only meet once a week. It is worth a visit if you get the chance pretty impressive village archive. One word of warning it is hard to get in a mobile phone signal in CR I had to walk back up the hill to get reception.
