Long time since we last passed on the boards, audrey...trust you are well.

Does the book have anything on the surname Neville at all?

Joseph Neville accidently fell from rope attached to bowsprit of ship 'Eliza' in Maryport harbour in 1857 and drowned. The boat is listed on the mightyseas link that geoff has posted, but there is no further info on it.

Although originally from Ireland, most of his family remained on in Maryport.

Hi i would be really greatful if you could tell me is there anything about the SHAW (S) and Ritson families

Wondering if you have any info on the John Thomas Shaw Family in Maryport.  John Thomas was a Manager at the Trustee Gasworks in 1871 and lived there until after the 1881 census.  His wife was Mary (Huntington) and they had the following children: 
John, 17, Plumber & Gas Fitter
Edward, 14, Iron Moulder
Robert, 11, Scholar
Joseph Hewitt, 9, Scholar
Frederick, 7, Scholar
William Briggs, 5, Scholar
Mary Isabella, 1

i do have some limited information on them is there anything inperticular ?? I have covered the whole shaw family and have details on most of them

I would be interested in what you have to share.  I live in Canada and know next to nothing about Maryport or the Gasworks except what I have found on the internet. The only thing I know is that my great great grandparents lived in Carlisle until 1870 and then must have moved to Maryport as  the four youngest children were born in Maryport.  There is another son Thomas (b. 1862) who in the 1871 census was at his grandmother's house in Carlisle and was not at home at the 1881 census.  I have tried to search for him but there are too many Thomas Shaws.  I have not been able to conclusively pin down who John Thomas's father was in the Bolton Le Moor area, so I don't know if he had siblings that may have also moved from Lancashire to Cumberland.

As I don't know what kind of info I should be asking for I therefore don't have anything in particular to ask.  Any information I can learn about these relatives would be appreciated.
