Hi Toppers

I don't have a Newall Topping in my tree - in fact the only ones I have are James and Ann and their daughters Mary and Ann.  No one else seems to be looking for the same ones as me.  I haven't so far had a link with Whitehaven, only Workington.  I don't know the area but I don't suppose they are far apart.  Looks like Geoff helped you out, so well done!!

Sorry Wamsilli I've got loads of Toppings in Workington and have been through them all but no trace of James or Ann I'm afraid.

Hi am.gilbert

How frustrating, but thanks for looking

Hi Sam, Mary Topping is my Gt- Grandmother, and i am also struggling to trace her father James, her mother was Ann Boyd. My mother is the daughter of Marys son James Lawson Warwick.
