Thanks for that  Humphpaul.

Accurate birth year  for Isabella 1840.There is a possible brother,  Joseph Gemmell, who died at age 21 in 1859,birth c.1838. Don't  know where yet.

Have found another child for Isabella Gemmel and Thomas Christie. Elizabeth Wannop Christie b.1874 in Carlisle.My g.grandfather John Joseph was their other child b. 1872.So it is very likely that Wannop was Isabella's maiden name.
Still looking for marriage record between Isabella's parents Joseph Gemmell  and ? Wannop,and birth record for Isabella. With this extra info could  someone help please.

I'm dragging up this thread again. I'm curious to know whether any descendents of Dr john crerar still live in Maryport or perhaps some know where they might have moved to. My great grandfather was James crerar and i know agood bit about him now but i was curious about his siblings. I understand his brother Donald was killed in the war as was a nephew.

Hi Mcrerar, welcome to RootsChat

The "open" version of the electoral register seems to show only 2 or 3 CRERARs in Grange-over-Sands, there being no others in Cumbria.

That's interesting. Maybe they are relatives,  maybe not. Or perhaps like James they moved away. Just curious as it was quite a bit family.
