    1. Re: [ENG-CUMBRIA] Gretna Green Marriages
    2. brian williams
    3. Hi Peter. another puzzle to solve ( still about the same couple ) My great great grandparents were married at Gretna Green in July 1847. Both stated they were from the Parish of Aspatria , the groom aged 27 the bride aged 23. the bride was 3 or 4mths pregnant and records show she may have been illegitimate. Would either of the above preclude the couple marrying in a Church in Cumberland ??? Pam Willimas

    3. Hi Pam and Petra Equally, the couple may not have wanted to go through the rigmarole of having the Banns read out in church or of having to obtain a special licence, and have found it easier simply to pop across the Border to get married. Lucky Cumberland to have that facility on the doorstep. Northumberland had one too: the marriage cottage still stands at the Scottish end of the Tweed Bridge into Coldstream.

    3. Hi Pam, An awful lot of Cumbrian brides were pregnant, or had already had a baby, and that was no obstacle to getting married in church. Neither was being illegitimate yourself. They may have decided to go to Gretna because their respective families did not approve of the marriage. At their age, their respective parents had no right to forbid the marriage, but they could have still exerted pressure. If the couple went to Gretna without their parents' knowledge and then came back with the certificate, then the parents could not do anything about it. Some Cumbrian couples later married again in their local church - I have seen marriage certificates where in the column that usually contains "Bachelor" and "Spinster" it said: "Previously married in Gretna".

That is was it common practice at that time. I know for certain that her husband was not deceased, they had a child in 1852 baptised at Aspatria

As the 'big house' of the parish of Camerton, Camerton Hall might well have had a number of estate staff living on the premises. Bear in mind that, as well as making good financial sense (both an income and one less mouth to feed at home), there may have been relationship issues that made a weekly separation comfortable for both husband and wife! There is, by the way, a biographical entry for the Falcon family (who owned Camerton Hall) in 'Cumberland Families and Heraldry'. Chris

    3. Certainly it happened elsewhere. One of my Bedfordshire ancestors is listed in 1841 as a living-in servant at the Rectory while his wife and children are listed in their cottage some miles away. In 1891 in the ferry port of Ardrossan my great grandmother is listed as 'Ship's Carpenters' wife'; I still haven't found my great grandfather's entry, but he was probably on an overnight ferry or had overnighted in a hostel or lodgngs at another ferry port. Similarly, people not listed at home turn up listed elsewhere as visitors with other family members or friends. There are also instances of houses full of sleepovers after family wakes or other celebrations. Hope this helps.

    1. [ENG-CUMBRIA] : RAILTON from Pargate
    2. Mokurai
    3. Hi Petra, Thanks very much. I'll keep this in mind when we progress further along the track eh. I think at present it would be great if we could find some male RAILTONs who are into genealogy and willing to do their Y-DNA so we would have a comparison to compare Russ' Y-DNA with. At present he is the only one in the whole of the Y-DNA world. He is an R1b haplogroup, like many others, but need a lot of them to update from the 12 marker to the 25 marker before we can start finding any cousins without the RAILTON surname. www.familytreedna.com told me years ago that if two participants have the exact same 25 marker results then they both had the exact same ancestor sometime after 1066AD, regardless of surname, as back then not everyone had surnames.

There is no Pargate at all, but I wonder whether it is a corruption of Parkgate? There are several of those in Cumberland: Parkgate, parish of Irton, grid reference NY 11 00 Parkgate, parish of Matterdale, grid reference NY 39 21 Parkgate, parish of Wigton, NY 21 46 Parkgate Cottage, Lanercost parish, NY 55 70 None of them is close to Whitehaven. However, the Place Name Index is not entirely complete - particularly places that no longer exist are sometimes missing. Hope this helps.
