Hello Geo, fellow members,

thank you for accepting my application to join the group.

I have been living abroad for the past 35 years, where I worked in IT, and have been researching my family history quite intensively for the last 10 years, primarily online and via visits to places back home including ancestral home towns and cemeteries / churchyards in Cumbria (2019) and Yorkshire (2016) and adding to a basis created by my mum and brothers before me.

I am also a member of the Cumbria FHS in addition to about 7 other family history groups across the north of England and North Wales and believe in researching thoroughly before adding people to my tree, otherwise it is a waste of time and money.

My family and ancestors on my father's side are originally from the Cumbria and Yorkshire areas and my primary research concerns the following names and areas:

Storey (Kendal, Crosthwaite, Crosscrake, Stainton, Kirkby Lonsdale)
Atkinson (Kendal, previously Otley, Bishop Thornton, Darley, all Yorkshire)
Archer (Kirkby Lonsdale - originally Gleaston & Flookburgh, Lancashire)
Thornton (Beetham, Witherslack)
Rawsthorne (Natland)
Otway (Witherslack)
Howson (Casterton, Biggins, Kirkby Lonsdale)
Carradus or Carradice (Natland)
Ashburner (Kendal)
Burrow (Levens)

Also Tyson (Kendal) - although not descended, my 3rd great-grandmother Elizabeth Storey married a James Tyson in Crosthwaite in 1829.

I look forward to hearing from anyone who may think we have connections and am happy to help and share my knowledge where possible.

Thank you.

Kind regards

Paul

Hi Paul,

Welcome to the list!

 

I don’t have any obvious connections with your ancestors, but I wanted to express my heartfelt agreement with your statement that you believe in researching thoroughly before adding people to your tree – so do I!

[Gary Winder]

Hello George and members, 

My name is Gary Vincent Winder. My parents emigrated to South Africa in 1961 where I was born in 1962. I have been living in England since 2002. I currently live in a 60+ independent living flat in Harlow, Essex, close to Epping for me to get into London to work. I currently work as a carer, with my two brothers. I began researching my family tree from an old tree handed down by my great grandfather, in 2012 and posted a comment, like this, and discovered an entire branch of my family I had never met! Cousin Stephen and I are researching together now. 

Our connection is to Dearham surnames Winder, Archer, Carter, Dodgson, Caipe, Stamper and many more. I have recently decided to focus more on the Cumbrian line and have obtained every will from 1564 to 1599 for Dearham. My intention is to build a story of the village from the 1500's on. Next I will receive the 1600 and 1700 wills. Also using the Dearham Transcripts from DustyDocs and the Bridekirk Directory. Having exhausted my line I have decided to branch out, so to speak, and find out what our ancestors were up to and who knew who and owned what. 

I welcome any comments or correspondence and I am willing to help if anyone needs it. 

Regards

Gary

Google couldn’t find a Dearham in the US.

Just for grins I plugged in Dearham into ancestry.com and got almost 280 MILLION hits!

Now that could keep you busy!

Hmmm…. Do you have all access? Mine would include people born there who moved. Dunno!

23 million were in immigration and emigration

I do Sarah, there were never 23 million people immi or emi -grating from Dearham - it's a tiny village and today has a population of just 2000 😀

Those nerds on ancestry put me on smart search or whatever they call the new search.  When I clicked Classic search, I got the same figure you have. DUH.

What area in Cumberland are you researching?

My Reveleys were in several towns in Cumberland, and emigrated to Virginia in 1765. I’ve found all the ones I need, but I love this list, and Petra’s transcriptions, so I’ve stuck around since 2001.

My brick wall is Thomas Reveley’s birth circa 1700, who was a resident of Ireland but married in Cumberland in 1732. His son called Thomas a resident of Ireland but not Irish, so I think at some point they were Border Reivers or mercenaries exiled to Ireland.

[Gary Winder]

Yes, it seems Ireland and Cumberland are well connected. My 7th GG, it is believed, was exiled to Glenarm, Antrim, Ireland after the Royalists lost in 1651 against Cromwell. We have his father and his will to confirm this.
