Hello Ken,

Yours is the first posting I've spotted which could bear some relation to a family I'm seeking. In a nutshell, Mary Sewell was born 1816 in Stanwix, daughter of Ann (nee Unknown) and according to Mary's marriage cert of 1842, her father was labourer Robert. I believe (without proof) Robert to be from the Caldbeck/Dalston area. Have you come across this family before in your searches? Mary's husband was Caldbeck-born William Dean.

Best wishes,

Gordon Fairbairn.
