my mam used to work in threshers glenys franks my memory is terrible what year did you live there

[sylviac]

Bet I'm loads older than you, Glenys. I lived there from 1942 until I got married in 1956. Then we moved to Workington where we are still living. Was your house up a little passage just about four doors up from the corner of wood street?Must admit I enjoyed my childhood and going on the 'Brows' and down on the promenade and the beach was great.

Another Thomas chr there 28 Mar 1858 son of
John Bouch and Mary Tinning (who married in Arthuret)

Some of the Sproule family (intermarried with Bouch and set up a wealthy trading import/export business with them) were born in Maryport.
