Anyone want any searches or photos done in Whitehaven

[Andi R]

Well hello Donna

Are you well?

I don't mind going back to the records office, and having a look at the inscriptions, as I have a little time to kill at the moment.

The records office is only 100 yards away,  however do you have any birthdates 'cos I have a list of baptisms at St Nicholas from 1694 to 1837 and burials same dates

No problem if you don't

Hi Andrew,

Thanks for the offer. I have very little information and was wondering if you could help.

I am looking for a John Mitchell born- supposedly 8/1/1805 in Whitehaven father Thomas.

Is it too much trouble to look for a baptism for him to get his mothers name, And maybe siblings or his parents marriage?

I appreciate any help,
Holly

Well hello Donna
Are you well?

I'm just dandy, Andrew (thank you for asking)... and you?

My research papers seem to have gone a-muck... but, I do not want to miss your kind offer! Please forgive my typing in haste.

I can only remember that my great uncle Anthony PATTINSON married a Helen nee ASHLEY...  about 1897, Whitehaven... and they had two children (that I could find so far): Arthur (b. 1900) and Elizabeth Russell PATTINSON (b. 190?).

I'm beginning to realize that England is not like Canada... one cannot simply go to a small town (not meaning Whitehaven!) to expect everyone to know their name!

Kindest regards,
Donna

Hi Andrew,

I would love if you found ANY Lamploughs. the earlier the better.

I have not "done" them yet from your district, Is this too vague? If so just please look up the name for me and find me one, Also spelt Lamplugh,

Thanks

Jakky.

No problem, you are aware the place Lamplugh is up here and I believe the family was quite big up here

Hi Andrew,

Thanks for offering lookups! I would really appreciate some help with the following:

Marriage of:

Burdett Charles Blowe (a.k.a. Charles Burdett) b. Alston Moor c. 1809
and
Jane (Fisher?) b. Whitehaven c 1809

I *think* that Jane's maiden name will be Fisher but I'm not 100%.  If it is, I would also really appreciate a lookup of her birth, c. 1809 in Whitehaven.
 
I'm sorry I can't be a bit more specific, but this is all the info I have.

(However, it may be worth noting that I think one of their children is called 'James *Ellershaw* Blowe'. Maybe useful for earlier maiden names?)

Any info at all would be really great.

Many thanks in advance,
Sam
