Hi Heinz 57
I'm n ot sure what parishes you've looked at already.
Before you plan any further though, do you know that the record office here in Carlisle is closed untill late spring, now, after the move to the new premises at Harraby? Keep an eye on Bob's post and replies at the top.
During ther closure, the parish registers are actually available on film in the local studies library in The Lanes. So are BT's for Westmorland, some Nonconformists / RC / Quaker registers and local wills for all except the most recent dates with index and full copy will.
A large proportion of the local papers are on film in there as usual, and there is a run of the local transactions on the shelves as well as all the usual.
As far as your question is concerned, have you tried Brampton as well as Irthington.
When the Record Office opens, there ar5ed published indexes for all of Brampton deanery which would make your search much simpler. They're a commercially published version so should be available else where too, but I'm not sure where.
I'll have another thinlk.
Best wishes
Emms
