Hi Everybody I have just received the birth certificate for the above, which as you can imagine leaves me with a very large "Brick Wall". The birth certicate is blank for the fathers name Could it be possible that there is somebody out there who is researching this Turner Line? Somebody please say "I am" I don't know if I've got the right Agnes but in 1881 there is the following in the census Dwelling: Raola Cragg Census Place: High Barton, Westmorland, England Source: FHL Film 1342255 PRO Ref RG11 Piece 5205 Folio 66 Page 9 Marr Age Sex Birthplace William H.

Looking on the map Bassenthwaite appears to be about 25/30 miles from Keswick. Is this the same person? if so can anybody tell me who her parents were or where they came from? Where would one need to go to search parish records for these areas.
