1. [ULV:] OnLine Parish Clerks [1]
We have for the past few months been working to establish a resource that we believe will be of great benefit to those engaged in family history research in the County of Lancashire. The scheme, which is based on one that originated in the County of Cornwall and was subsequently adopted by the Counties of Devon and Dorset, is called OnLine Parish Clerks. Its goal is to make available to researchers, free of charge, records and information about the parishes in which their ancestors lived. We would now

I am researching Cassons in Ulverston and Colton. My great-great-great grandfather, Roger Casson, was born in Colton in 1780.

5. [ULV:] North of the Sands [1]
Just for interest I entered my name into the Google search engine. To my surprise and dismay my name and full email address came up under the heading OPQ. I clicked on this and it sent me to the Lancashire North of the Sands, surname Interests OPQ page. What has happened? Why is my email address so blatently on the net? I may be naive but I did not expect this when I posted my surname interests. I do not give my email address out willy-nilly as I want to keep this address as 'clean' as possible and fr

Dear Lorraine, Thank you for your reply. Just to clarify what I was concerned about. I don't mind my email address placed on a site to which people of the same interests subscribe to. In these instances people are able to access me by logging onto that site and my name then comes up under the area I am interested in. What I did not expect was for my name to come up along with my email address on the Google search engine. This is where my concerns lay. Enter my name into Google to understand what I mean.
7. [ULV:] William Noall [1]
Hello Lorraine and List, My family mystery is probably only interesting to me but, if anyone out there has an answer, just let me know! My Thomas and Cecilia Nankervis family moved from St. Ives, Cornwall to Chapel Street in Dalton-in-Furness between 1877-1882. Cecilia was a Noall by birth and we find several Noall families already living in the area when the Nankervis' arrive. Cecilia had a brother named William Noall and we believe that the William Noall in Dalton at that time may be him or it cou

9. [ULV:] Many thanks for help with Transport across Morecambe Bay [1]
Many thanks to all who helped me with suggestions re transport across Morecambe Bay in the 1700's and 1800's. I spent the wee small hours last night googling happily away. I found lots of information about walking across Morecambe Bay and a little on the history of the Bay. I didn't find anything about other modes of transport such as cargo or passenger boats or about the movement of people from one side of the sands to another when they were setting out to start a new life, but I think that perhaps I ju

Hello list, James Robert PHIZACKLEA was born in Barrow in Furness on the 29th September 1898 and eventually became a professional footballer playing for Preston North End. He started his footballing career playing for Barrow Submarine Engine Athletic, so presumably worked in the shipyards. He went on to play for Nelson before being transferred to Preston for a reported #1000-00. He later played for South Shields and Thames. At sometime in his career he married Rose KELLY, daughter of William KELLY and Ellen

Hello everyone, Please, can anyone tell me what kind of transport was in place across Morcambe Bay in the 1700's and the 1800's? I know that the Ulverston/Barrow in Furness area was known as Lancashire Across the Bay and I know that horse and waggon traffic and pedestrians would cross Morcambe Bay on the low tide, following markers in the sand. This was told to my older brother by my Grandfather Samuel Stables, who also told of occasions when horses, still hitched to the waggons they were pulling would

Hi Lorraine, You have a difficult job to do with the Surnames Interests pages and it is a great benefit, so many thanks. One thing does worry me - I also was astonished at how easily search engines pick up the e-mail address, ignoring the masking. Would it make sense to review this masking technique? On my own web site I publish my address in the form: "graham at participation dot co dot uk" and this seems to help There are almost certainly many other, more effective approaches. Good luck Regards G

I happened across an account of such an accident when I was reading an 1857 copy of the Cumberland Pacquet newspaper last week - 14 people travelling in two horse-drawn carts were drowned whilst crossing the Bay. I can't remember from where they were travelling, but do remember that they had been travelling home from a celebration. I have also seen at some time a report of a horse rider being lost whilst trying to cross the Duddon estuary. Tim Latham www.mightyseas.co.uk Manchester, UK

20. [ULV:] A Mystery [1]
Hi Listers: My family came to Canada from Cumberland in 1888 and with the help of folks from this list I was able to trace from Cumberland back to Ulverston when John WOODBURN b. 5 Oct 1811 migrated to Whitehaven about 1840. The mystery came from my initial research when, not knowing who exactly had come to British Columbia, I did a vital events search for WOODBURN in this province. In the end I had a "leftover" James WOODBURN died 27 June 1910 and posted this information so that his family could "claim

Yes, Tim. Those sands are terribly dangerous. And I believe that even if you had very good local knowledge of the tides and conditions, it was still possible to lose your life in attempting to cross. Quicksand would have to be one of the very worse ways to go. But I'm sure that anyone migrating South from 'Lancashire Across The Bay', and who didn't have much money, would have gone by way of the sands, in spite of the danger. I hope that there is a historian on the list who can help me. Thanks for replyi
