Hi I am asking for the help from some kind person again, I am trying to get details of the parents and siblings of Bessie Hilder T Hope born abt 1822 Carlisle, Cumberland, England.
Any help would be most appreciated.

Have you tried yourself on familysearch.org IGI - it is free to search.

Also, do you know who she married? In which case you could buy the certificate for her fathers name and cut down the possibilities when you do a census search.

This looks like a likely marriage, it came up immediately on freebmd - which is free to search (only one groom has been transcribed on it so far - a Mr Blanchard) - buy that for the fathers of both the couple and their occupations, the witnesses, the place of residence etc. £7 using this ref from GRO online. Mind you she would be 32 if your year of birth is correct. Where and what info do you have on her already so we can be sure this is her?

Name: Bessie Hilda Hope
Year of Registration: 1854
Quarter of Registration: Jan-Feb-Mar
District: Darlington
County: Durham, Yorkshire - North Riding
Volume: 10a
Page: 14

Only Bessie coming up - there are 2 Elizabeths born 1822 in Cumberland but without getting her marriage cert for further info you wont know which line to follow. Do you have her husbands name??
