Holme(s) Colton/Cartmel areas

[Radcliff]

George Holme/s as a name is quite popular in Hawkshead,but of course people didn't necessarily live with in the village,my husbands great grandfather lived in Askam and his circuit included Greenodd and Spark Bridge ,how he ever managed to get from one chapel to another ,he didn't even own a pony it was all done on foot and ,a hope that some kind person would pick him up along the way.

it was and still is a large area to cover ,from Hawkshead to Colton including every thing in between ,


Cringle Mire farm actually still exists ,it looks like it may now be the village hall ,Bouth,

Sither!!
I presume you dont live in the UK or have watched Take That before lol.
X Factor is a programme on TV here in the UK and Gary Barlow who was the lead singer in the group Take That  is a Judge instead of Simon Cowell.
It was "off the subject"and about Colton the name of the village but it
is also a surname mainly in Lancashire.
My Viking information is correct as Lancashire and Yorkshire were invaded
by the Vikings in the early centuaries and maintained many words and
name places even until today. Say the same words below the Dane
Line and they look at you as if you are speaking a different language
which of course we are!!!
Funny that Radcliff should mention Hawkshead as I did see that mentioned
on my travels trying to find George and Nicholas Holmes.
Hope you now comprende the off the subject speak I was on about lol.

Pardon me Sandy, I wasn't meaning that I didn't know who Gary Barlow was, of course being a Lancashire lad myself I may have heard of him once or twice.  What I meant to say wasn't how it came out. I actually meant to say I don't know anything about X Factor 

I believe you about the Vikings, did know some of that sort of thing myself in the past when I was studying history, but forgotten a lot of it

All the best
John
