The information in your messages have been extremely helpful. You have provided us with a clear link between the Quaker records and some of the Sauls at Maryport, which although suspected, was lacking concrete evidence. The key is your comment that the baptism entries in 1781 at Holm Cultram show they were formerly Quakers. This will enable me to link the tree of David and Mary McCuck to one of the Quaker trees.

Can you tell me when and where Martha married? Do you also know what became of Moses and any of his other children? There was a John and Jane who had children baptised at Maryport between 1797 and 1813 and when John was buried in 1827 his age is recorded as 56 years. This suggests that he may be a son of Moses.

Claire had given some of the information we have about Moses and previous generations. All the information that the Society holds is freely available to members and I hope you will be interested in joining. If so, you can do this online at our main web site.

Hi John

Thank you for the e-mail regarding Moses Saul, I don't know a lot about what hapened to his family, except for David b 1768, who married Mary McCuck, in 8.9.1794 at Crossconby, I have only found a death date for Asa Saul he died 1857, Kendal Lancashire. David died Carlisle 1853, and Mary 1848. I have no information regarding John and Joseph.

David Saul Snr, was a Joiner, his son James b 1797 was also a Joiner, David b 1801 was a Millwright.he married Hannah Kellet, in 1827 Crossonoby, Sarah their eldest daughter never married, found a death for a Ann Saul 1880 in Whitehaven.

Martha Saul was born 23.6.1799 in Maryport, as well as the other 5 children of David and Mary. she married William martin on 2.2.1828, he was the son of William Martin of Allendale Northcumberland. Martha Martin nee Saul died 30.8.1868, William Martin d 4.12.1869, both William and Martha were handloom weavers. in Carlisle, they have 9 children three of which grew up and married, the other children died young.

John Martin b 1837 married a Margaret Cowen, both John and Margaret Martin came to Australia in 1862.

Hope the above information is of some help.

Hello All...after a long delay due to illness I have eventually logged in to my original message and ..wow. Thank you Clive for family info pre 'David Saul' b.1706. Like John I have been able to use info from the messages i..e never knew about Moses born to David and Elizabeth Keddy. Dawn asked if their is a connection to the Ostles through one of David Saul and Martha Waite's children....yes my 3x g.grandmother Mary Hewitson was born Mary Ostle in 1780 at Goody Hills her parents were William Ostle of Plaskettlands and Mary Shannon. Mary Ostle married Keddy Hewitson b.1777 in Holm Cultram presumably Abbey Church 27 June 1807. Keddy was the son of Thomas Hewitson and Martha Saul the eldest daughter of David Saul and Martha Waitt. Now something for Claire Garner the second and third children born to Keddy Hewitson and Mary Ostle married 'Garners' i.e Rachel married Joseph Garner and Thomas Hewitson married Ann Garner. My gg. grandmother Jane Hewitson was the youngest of Keddy and Mary Hewitson's family. Apologies for straying..maybe info is of some use(see also my postings on Sewell forum)

Hi Ken

Thank you for the information regarding the connection between the Ostell's and David Saul...... There is a web site at http;//graham.dunmore.org, you may all ready know about it, but, I found there was quite a lot of information on the Saul's and the other names you mention'ed . My daughter sent me by e-mail copies of the originial records from the BMDregisters.co.uk , which is on the Internet. with these I was able to trace the Saul's back to 1500's through the Graham Dunmore web site. I found that the Saul's start with two brothers, Jefferay Saull, and Robert Saull, one of Jefferay Saull grandsons, also called Jefferay, b 1560 maried Annas Ostell 21.12.1584, she d 1590, he then married Isabel Ostell 24.11.1590. ( Jefferay and Robert Saull,) are also in the IGI. Hope the above is of help to anybody.
