Hi BD

I agree - I think a well-earned break is in order!  Its been a slow month on Rootschat but hopefuly the approach of Autumn (and September 1st!) will bring renewed vigour to bear on yet another random 'victim' from 1881! :)

cheers

1861
Brampton waterhead cumberland
RG9/3908 folio 20 Page 5
Philip Bell Head Mar 41 Joiner Cumberland, Upper Denton
Margaret do wife Mar 32      Northumberland, Haltwhistle
Jane do    daur 3                       do  do
Anthony do  son 1                       do  do

I've got nothing to contribute to the genealogy, I desperately wish I had, but what I can do is tell you that Waterhead is a fantastically popular tourist location in the middle of the Lake District. For those of you who are overseas you should know that this is probably one of the most visited places in the country. Mountains and lakes and sheer beauty (and millions of cars and tourists). Wordsworth wrote his poetry here and Beatrix Potter drew her little animals.

Here is a link to a hotel at Waterhead so you can have an idea what it is like now.

It is close to Ambleside which is one of the main towns in the Lake District

Good luck Burrow Digger.
  This was the first time I had a go and it was great fun even if I did start to lose the plot with all those Bells .
      Roll on 1st September will be back to you all then.
