Can someone please let me know any information they may have on the Pack Horse that was situated in Market Place Brampton Cumbria. It was run by a John Armstrong in the 1840/50's. When was it closed and was it knocked down? Any information would be gratefully received. Thanks Heather

Have you tried to find it on 1881 census? That would narrow the time scale. Reg

Try googling. If you can't find anything online, you may find the relevant county records office/archive/local history centre has information.

It appears to be called 'Horse Head' in the 1861 Census Linda

Sorry guys, had to make tea for my girls. Reggie - I found the Pack Horse in the 1851 & 1841 census and a directory for 1847 but not in the directory for 1858. Thanks Linda - I will check it out. I was wondering if John Armstrong had died by 1861. Heather

Do you have any additional info that would help to trace him in 1861? Reg

Reg, His wife was Margaret and I think he was born in Abbey Cumberland in 1783 . She was born in 1791 in Brampton. In the 1851 census they also had a son William living with them. Heather
