Hello everyone
On an 1891 census return, my great great grandad David
Dalton (then living in Tanfield, Co. Durham) is listed as having been born in
Cumberland, ChapelKnowe. Previously, he is said to have been born in '
Scotland'.
I know that there is a Chapelknowe just across the border in Dumfriesshire - can anyone give me any idea:
a) if there is/was actually a Chapelknowe in
Cumberland, or
b) if the Chapelknowe in Dumfriesshire might have 'moved' if borders were altered during the 19th century?
David is proving pretty elusive. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Mick
