Ooh, wel done Goeffe!

How would we manage without you on the Cumberland board?  Now where's the marriage?

Ooh, That's a blow!

Probably too late, but I was going to look on the sites on Patterdale etc which Inthought had a link to East Ward - and they've all gone - they'd been on msn groups!  Closed down, as well as my Geocities going!  Anyone know where they've gone?

Hello all,

Barbara, Sorry I did not mean you were confusing me, I meant that I was confused.

No one in the family knows much about Joe Wade.

Old school Friends of my mother informed her that he was born in Rutland about 1884, Joe had been a fishmonger in and around Keswick. 

I have looked at all Census returns from 1841 - 1901, free bmd, ancestry.co.uk and on find my past all to no avail.

I was just wondering if there was anyone such as  Geoff and/or Bob Graham who seem to know the area knew anything about Joe Wade.

Thanks

Hi Allan

I know wht you mean about getting confused.  I frequently get confused whith my family history - and confuse other people. 

I'm sorry we haven't got any further -mit's a bit slower being after the censuses and later than most of the church records online.  We'll get there though!

If he was around as late as the sixties, there may be a telephone book entry for him.  If noone's done it first, I'll have a look in our library.  If there is, we can see when the entry disappears and hopefully narrow down the date.  There are some on Ancestry too, but ours has run out.

I'll have a look in some more local directories too.

Have you seen the full GRO index? Free bmd finishes too early. Again, it's on Ancestry, but most libraries have it if you can get there.

Best wishes

Hi Allan, think I phrased that wrongly, we all get a bit confused at some point, I just hoped we weren't confusing you too!  

Have just searched the full deaths index, from 1951-1960 inc, and assuming he died in the Keswick area, no luck.  Will try earlier and later

Hi Alan

Another little thought. 

It may be worth emailing Keswick Library to see what they have.  There will probably be adverts in the Keswick papers among other things and I don't know if they have any indexes, or copies of the local registers. 

I can't get to the record office at the moment or I'd look for you.

It's a bit like doing our own families.  I know Keswick well, and a few years ago I'd have known someone who knew the answers, but just a few years too late!

Best wishes

Is this a possibility for his death registration I wonder? (If only I'd started at 1950 instead of 1951!)

The same goes for the Uppingham birth registrations given earlier, and the marriages
