Find Ancestors

Thank you Maddie, you obviously have special powers 'cos Ann didn't turn up for me when I looked in IGI ! This makes it even more likely that Tolson Farm is something to do with the family. Perhaps Natural (is that really his name?) lived there at some time.

Frances check your messages in your in box

just in case, Staverley is 4 miles nw of Kendal

That was my thought too, Kath, but I couldn't find any parents for Ann Brockbank in IGI so couldn't take it any further.

It probably isn't a coincidence Frances. Someone in the family's ancestry maybe owned or rented the farm sometime in the past.

Thanks Kath, clearly Maddie's enthusiasm for Tolson has swayed you lol

As a coincidence I found a Tolson Farm just to the west of Kendal near where Tolson's mother came from !

Sorry Frances. it is Tolson. Findmypast has transcribed his baptism as Jobson. I thought that was the correct name because I have heard the name Jobson before.

sure has :-)

Thank you Maddie, Tolson has really got you going !

Thanks Kath, I bow to your insight though the name Jobson is about as weird as Tolson, in that I have never come across either before.

Thank you Kath - I'm still floating in the clouds. Perhaps I'll come back down later and do some more checking!

I've just edited my post to say that the records for Staveley are kept at Kendal Records Office. They may be willing to check for you.

The birth certificate of one of the children born after 1837 would give Ann's maiden name:-
