Hi

I am researching the Newby family from Kirkby Ireleth and Cartmel. William Newby was born in Cartmel 1797 Anthony Newby was born Kirkby Ireleth 1767 his parents were John & Mary Newby.

I look forward to hearing from you if you have any information on this family.

Best wishes


Susan

Sorry - I haven't even got as far back as that, this being a particularly troublesome family for me to research. The furthest I've got is a John Newby who was born probably in the 1780s in or around Broughton-in-Furness.

hi russ, I don't know if a person named Carolyn has contacted you but she was asking me if I had any info on Lambs in B in F and she has connections to the Jackson. Her name is on the message board. I too have a family line from B in F , the Lams I have some info on them and wondered if you could give me some more. If you would be kind enough to do that I would appreciate it thankyou Sandy

Dear Russ, I have Braithwaites from Kendal, my gt grandfather coming from there to Ulverston. He married my Gt grandmother (a Hodgson) from Spark Bridge, Colton and went to live in Ulverston. I can only give you that info at the moment as it is late and I have just found this site. I see there is no mention of Hodgson in your list. But you deserve all the best in your search for such a wonderful list. Best wishes.

Hello Russ,

My husband's maternal grandmother was Mary Jane (Polly) Stables and she was married at Hawcote to Joseph Gyte on 26 October 1893. Eventually she left the area to live in Settle, Yorkshire, but she was part of a large family of Stables many who remained in the Barrow area. Her father was John Stables and he married Jane Haslam from Hawcote. John Stables had a pub in the Barrow area. His son Thomas had a pub called Bay House, found in 1881 census but not sure if this was the same one. Polly was living with him aged 12. Any use?

Polly left a super family tree which came to us after my father-in-law died. A great deal of info, unfortunately few dates.

Regards Lizz Cook

Liz

Thanks for the info. I've since discovered that the Stable(s) connection was through my gt-grandmother's stepfather, Edward Stable (the final "s" was added at the end of the 19th C.) who was born in Ennerdale in 1856 but later moved Ulverston via Millom). As such I'm not actively pursuing this line although I may return to it at a later date.

I would be very interested in what you may have on the Coward family from Barrow-in-Furness. My grandmother came over from England in the early 1900's. My information is her parents:James Newton and Hannah Woodburn; James Newton's parents as David Newton and Elizabeth Coward and I have their children as Sarah Margaret b.5 Sept 1858; Harriet b.7 Oct 1860 and married Robert Kirkby; James b.23 Mar 1862; John b.21Feb 1864; Mary Jane b.2 April 1865; Louiza Ann b. 18 Aug 1867 and married a Blackwell; Thomas Hopwood b.28 Nov 1869; Eliza b.25 Jan 1862 and married a Graham; and Ada Caroline b. 19 April 1874. The first 2 children were born in Whicham, the rest in Millom; I just noticed Eliza's birth year is out of sinc - maybe I have an error there. I would greatly appreciate any information you could forward onto me. Thanks so much.
