Hi All

The Edenlinks site doesn't seem to be working anymore. Does anyone know where the census can be seen?

Best regards

Gigi

I have a copy of Vital Statistics The Westmorland Census of 1787 by Curwen Archive Trust.  Not all parishes returned the information.  Is there a particular area you are interested in?

Apologies for jumping onto this thread.
Is the parish of St Martins,Windermere included in those returned?

Unfortunately, there were no returns from Windermere.  It looks as though the parishes in the south of Westmorland were not very good at completing their returns. I do have a copy of The Disappearing Yeomen, Windermere 1640-1841 by Pauline Wharton.  The information you are looking for might be in that book.

I think this is what you are looking for - I had the same issue initially.

Hi

Thanks, yes the link works :)

I didn't need any lookups, thanks. I needed the link for my sources on Wikitrees as the old one no longer works.

Susan,
I have a copy of Pauline's book however it is in a storage unit with a lot of my possessions since a i became a couch surfer.Nothing of help therein.
I corresponded with Pauline just after the release of her book,she had come across my GGGrandfather,William Wain Butcher, in her research but could not connect him directly to Windermere
as he was from Walney Island.
William married Alice Barton,daughter of William,rector of St Martins.
Thanks,
