I am a descendent of William Barrow who lived at Kirkby Hall from around 1765 (source parish records). Prior to that his abode was recorded as "Chappels". His son Thomas, who was a spademaker at a forge at Rosside, near Ulverston was my GGGGF. I assume the Barrows were tenants of Kirkby Hall - if anybody has any information on the Barrows please email me.

Hi I live in Adelaide Australia. My friend Sylvia Sinfield (nรฉe Needham) used to send me regular gazettes which I loved. My fear is that she may have died, I have not heard from her. Can someone enlighten me?

Love the site. Would love to see something about Bridge House and Hallsteads farm as my family lived at both. Keep up the great work.
