Member Since: December 2002 Posts: 0 Send Message	Hi there, I have just recently found out that one of my great, great, great grandmothers was Elizabeth Owen born in 1837 in Brigham just outside Cockermouth in Cumberland. Her parents were Hannah Pearson and Matthew Owen. Hannah was born in 1806 in Cumberland (as per the 1841 census) but unfortunately Matthew died in 1839 so we know nothing about him. (Info about her birth and her parents was found on familysearch website) Does anyone have any ideas about him? Does he ring any bells? Thank you in advance! Helen.
