> Is there anyone who has the transcripts or other access to Parish Records from the planet Zarg? Is there a Penrith on that Planet? > I am coming to the belief that, like so many of my ancestors (and other people's), he just appeared from the planet Zarg. However, unlike so many others he did not go back there having married and had a horde of children as I do know when and where he died. His wife Jane SOWERBY also seems to be a Zargian, born about 1785 but don't know where. > Ha ha ha.......love it. I think my mysterious John Bowness, born about 1735, is also from this same planet!! So if anyone stumbles across the Zarg Parish Records, please let me know...... He too had a wife, 7 children, and I found the Admon assigning his wife to distribute the assets.......but as to him, I am totally up against a brick wall. Maybe we should do some 'brick wall' posts from others who are stuck. Who knows.....maybe someone will recognize a name. If it hadn't been for both Chris and Karlena, I would have thought this man landed here from outer space. Karlena had his name only, as marrying one of her ancestors........and I eventually found more information in Flimby for both her Allanby ancestors and my Bowness ones. You never know when a name will strike a chord with someone. I am forever indebted to Karlena for that information. Any 'brick walls' from anyone else???? Plus, I do run across Cumberland people in Jamaica and would be happy to look up any info for people on these Lists. Cheers......Heather
