HI Alter, Thanks for your kind offer. My family come from Cumberland but I don't. I am keen to trace wills from Whitehaven, as my g.g-grandfather had a business with employees. Any sources for anything will be welcome. (Also for Durham there is the Tyne & Wear Archives in Newcastle) Anne

Glad you got somewhere :~)

I want to apologise Alter for not getting back sooner to thank you for the information. Thought I'd gone back to all of my threads but must have missed yours. A belated thank you anyway. Thanks very much for all the information......as it happens Roger Bristow at Hastings reference library is the person who found all the information for me about my grandfather. He couldn't have been nicer and found me just about everything I could want to know about my grandfather. Thank you to him too. Kath. x

Thank you....off to have a look.

Thank you Alter. You`re a star. Tony

For specific villages try genuki for parish record links and curious fox just in case you make a connection.Sometimes just googling the village name with the word genealogy will get you to some small websites that may have something relevant.

Any info of Dover and the Surrounding area would be fantastic if you have time.
