Hi All..... I was over at the FHC today, trying to get my head back into parish records after the Xmas break. As usual, didn't find much for myself, but got a few names I recognized for these Lists. No particular order, and they are all (but one) from LDS film #90678, Holy Trinity Chapel BT's 1. 11 Feb 1719 - Jonathan TIFFIN of Innerdale, yeoman, married Abigail DICKINSON, spinster. 2. 31 Oct 1791 - Samuel BROWNRIGG, yeoman, married Jane WILSON, spinster, both of Whitehaven. 3. 17 May 1807 - baptism of James, son of Charles and Ann DICKINSON (born April 15th) In the St. James film #90680, burial of Sarah, wife of John TWENTYMAN, 4 March 1802. I did find 4 Bownesses......but had 3 of them. Where is 'Ginns'? It was the 'abode' of Thomas Bowness and wife Mary. Hope these help someone.......Heather.

Hi Heather, The Ginns is a district on the south side of Whitehaven. There were at least three potteries there and also a copperas works. It was the site of some of the earliest coal mining activity in the Whitehaven area. I takes its name from the water ginn that Sir John Lowther established circa 1663 to convey water from the Bannock coal seam into Pow Beck. The "Newhouses" built by the Earl of Lonsdale to house his miners stood on the high ground above the Ginns.
