At the risk of becoming boring, I copy below another piece I've recd, this time about cross-boundary burials. * * * * * * Re your correspondence with Ken Swallow about baptisms of Kirkandrews upon Esk residents taking place in other parishes, it wasn't only baptisms but burials as well. When I was in Carlisle Record Office on 28/8/03 I noted in the Marrs index 1654-1837 of burials at Kirkandrews upon Esk the following note: Revd Sir To make you Sensible that the Register is truly exhibited, And to clear my Self of false Aspersions, I have taken care to Mark down the Names of those who Dyed in the Parish of Kirkandrews since last Visitation And were buried in other Parishes, wch were those following viz: {There followed a list of 17 names. One of these entries read 1730 Oct Morton Widdow Morton of Moat Bd. At Canabie. In the same year only 4 people were buried in Kirkandrews.} I suspect it had something to do with the Grahams at Kirkandrews. It may also be because Kirkandrews was a new church but I don't think that is the full story. * * * * * * Regards to all. Ken
