[droopdrawers]

To hold my attention when I get too frustrated at not getting the answers I want, I have taken to drifting from one side of the family to the other.
My paternal Grandfather is still hiding somewhere, but do you think I can find him. No

Can anyone see him hiding inside their pooter....I will have to reprimand him when I do find him lol.

oh sorry they lived at 32 Lawson St Workington in 1891

[dotty.]

In 1881 they lived at 3 Rennison's Court, St Cuthbert Without Botchgate, Cumberland, William J is down as born Leamington Northumberland, there is a 5 month old daughter Mary born Carlisle but she's not on the 91.John's occupation is Bricklayers carter and he's down as born Penrith.

[dotty.]

1871 they are at Whaites House, Hornsby, John is a labourer, again born Penrith, they have a 1 year old daughter Jane Ann born Hayton Cumberland.

[dotty.]

in 1861 I think he's the one with his parents, he's 13, living at castle carrock, you can go on from there.

Mwah Mwah.... you are so clever and kind too.

I did have a few of those details and knew there was a Penrith connection. I have been there many times while in the Lake District on holiday but not since I started looking for family.

I will owe you a pint one of these days:)))

I was in Workington at the beginning of August, it's a really small place but very heavily populated because of Seascale, we drove back to Seascale after shopping in Workington late afternoon and the queue from the Seascale gates back down into Workington went back mile after mile, still a beautiful coast though.

I love all that area. Its strange, I have always felt "at home" up there.
My fathers had a best pal from Penrith who he met in Egypt during the war, They became lifelong friends, and we the next generation are still friends even tho the "oldies" have all passed away.
Thankyou so much for your help. Sometimes I feel my brain is frying with reading the small print. Then I can't sleep when I get to bed.
Still being retired I don't have to get up on a morning hehhe.
