Ruth, Thank you so much for your response to my question about Thrimby. I am most interested in finding out as much about the little village as possible. My Wells ancestors lived there in the 16th and 17th centuries befopre settling in the U.S. I have looked at several maps and it appears that very little is there. I noted a Thrimby Grange and a Thrimby Hall in the vicinity. However, I am a bit confused. One map showed Thrimby to be west of the motorway while another showed it to be east of the motorway adjacent to Little Strickland. Any help and information you can proive will be much appreciated. I am planning a trip to Westmorland in the near future to visit Shap, Keld, Morland and Thrimby where my ancestors lived. Again, thank you so much for your reply. Regards, John B.
