Maryport

[Lost Rackley]

Hi audrey - I have just found your post about your kind offer to look up Maryport families in your books about the town.  I am researching the brown family of Maryport.  Caaptain George Brown was the Harbour Master in Maryport in about the 1860's.  I discovered yesterday in the cemeterty at Maryport that his mother was Hannah Tolson.  He married Agness Benn and had 13 children.  His eldest son George was the marine superintendant for the Hine shipping line, other children involved in shipping were robert Brown, Thomas Brown, wilson Brown, James and John Brown. I would really appreciate it please if you have the time to see if there is anything in your books about the Browns and Benns. Thank you for your help.

I'm related to the Maryport Benn's.
Thomas Benn was my great great grandfather, he won a medal for saving lives.
He was the coxswain of Maryport lifeboat.
Edward Benn Smith V.C. is also my relation via the Benn's.

Hi Audrey and Liz,

I've joined this thread at a very late stage! My great, great grandfather was John Brinicombe of Mandle St. I'd love to see a copy of the photo mentioned earlier if possible. Liz I'd be happy to share with you what I have on the Brinicombes.

Thanks
Peter

My headmistress at infant school was a Miss Brinicombe.
She also took me for Sunday School.
Nice lady.

This is a very interesting thread. I am trying to research my 4th great grandfather, Reverend William Bookless. He died in 1885 and lived in Fleming Square. He seems to have been influential but I can not find much about him. Does anyone have any books that reference William, especially with a photograph.

Many Thanks,

Alan

Which church in Maryport was he part of?
I used to live in Fleming Square.
What number did he live at?

[mientajb]

He was a Presbyterian minister who retired in 1850 when his wife inherited a large sum of money. At that point they moved into number 23 Fleming Square having previously lived in Eaglesfield Street.
