Mary Moscrop and George S Lamb were as follows: 41. Sarah Lamb . I am still trying to confirm details of the first Richard's birth about 1805. In the censuses, he put down Kirklinton as his birthplace, but he is not recorded in that parish register. I have found the birth of a Richard, son of Richard Moscrop of Burnside and his wife Isabella, late Little. This is a possibility, but I can't prove the relationship. Has anyone any ideas? I've looked through the Stapleton BTs and can't find the birth of the Richard of Burnside either. He eventually went to live in Churchtown Sebergham and is buried there. The Stapleton records (BTs and parish register) aren't in the IGI, but I have all the Moscrop references from the BTs 1730 - 1812. I will gladly send these to anyone interested. I would very much like to hear from anyone who is related to any of the above Moscrops, especially the ones that emigrated to Canada and the USA. Did you know there is a Moscrop Street in Vancouver (with a school named after the street)?? Thanks to the Moscrop mailing list, I recently met a distant Moscrop cousin from Australia!! Margaret Perry
