    1. [CUL-CAR] Janet (Ostle)

    3. Hi Peter: Good to see you are still alive and watching us! I found some more Janet Ostle(s) for you. I don't know if you can add them to your tree because most of them are from before 1600. A search on the IGI's <familysearch.org> gave me 8 results. Just enter Janet Ostle, nothing else, with exact spelling OFF. The first 6 are all from Holme Cultram, Cul. and are all spelled "Janat" by the transcriber. the last two are from 1677 (Aspatria) and 1842 (Dearham). Hope this helps. My conclusion, for all it's worth, is that the name Janet and variations thereof was actually fairly common in Cumberland, Westmorland and thereabouts in the 16th and 17th centuries. Probably because of the Scottish connections in some of the families. Art Lengkeek.
