"THOMAS BANKS 1718. Abstract: Not a will but rather the undertakings by his widow Elizabeth, of Biggar, Walney. It is signed by her and Thos. Richardson, witnessed by Rich. Wilson and ?Gos. Cage. No other names are mentioned. Inventory shows assets totalling £498.16.00, of which £450 represents a ship and rigging (unnamed but perhaps traceable through the Barrow Archives??). The assets are more than offset by liabilities of £858, of which £8 seem to be for funeral expenses and the remainder for 'several debts on bills, bonds and mortgages." Courtesy HB. Jane Hareling married in 1657: 1)George Brownrigg of Cockermouth Park who was born in Crosthwaite (1625-1664) and 2) Robert Bankes of Workington, yeoman ca. 1665. Isabell Brownrigg of Crosthwaite (died 1670) married in 1669 a Thomas Bancks of North End, Walney, P. of Dalton. George Brownrigg was Isabell's uncle. If anyone can add information to the Brownrigg/Bankes connections, it would be much appreciated. Ann Brownrigg
