Thanks for the quick reply. Unfortunately, I don't have Joseph's parents. You probably know that Ann and Wm were twins (1834).  Ann's brother Wilson seems to have had 2 sets of twins. Looks like many in the family migrated south to the Newcastle-under-Lyme area, including my great g'father Henry Fenwick Pickering who married Ann Vickers.

I have as yet been unable to forge a link between your family and mine but there must be one. There are so many Williams and Josephs in my line and there were an awful lot of Vickers. My Grandfather John William Vickers was one of 3 of that name all born in Thornthwaite in the same Quater of 1866.Whinlatter Pass was a Toll Road from Keswick , passing through the small village of Thornthwaite. Crosthwaite was about 2 miles away. The family of my gr grandfather William Vickers were all woodsmen in the Whinlatter Forest and I guess anyone who lived there would be the same.
If you send me a personal message I can send you some information on Whinlatter.
