Hi List, Jill has suggested that I put the following on this list. I have missed the start of the schoolboy parson but in the Kitchin of Seascale in Gosforth family that you are discussing there was a John Kitchin, who is the brother? of the father Isaac from the St.Bees story. This John had a son Joseph (B:21.5.1795) who also went to school in St.Bees and then to be the Curate of Wasdale head (1821) - but after first serving the church as a curate elsewhere. In Lancashire from memory. Nev.
