Cumbria memories
Langwathby Hall Farm
As a youngster of 12 I was evacuated from my home in Wallington near Croydon Surrey to Cumbria, where I attended Penrith Grammar School in 1940. I lived at Temple Sowerby at Riggside at the farm (Millrigg Farm) of my elderly cousin, Isaac Huntington. His elder brother was George Huntington a retired farmer of Langwathby Hall Farm. Those two brothers were sons of Joseph and Ann Huntington also of Langwathby Hall Farm. I spent many happy days in the company of both Isaac and George Huntington. My ancestry is from Cumbria dating back to the 12th century and in the 1990s I researched and published a book titled "The Solway Plainsmen" relating the history and quality of life for Cumbrians from the 12th to the 20th centuries. It will shortly be available to download free on the internet on www.huntingtondouglas.net Having lived there I could never understand why my great grandfather had migrated to London, but economic factors must have dictated his decision.
The Flooding
Can anyone recall the flooding that occurred in the early 1930s? We have had flooding in recent years but we wondered if it were a regular happening?

Leaving Lazonby
In 1966, the Allday family left Lazonby to immagrate to Canada. I'm Fred the eldest boy and was 16 and did not want to leave, my home and friends behind. There was a girl, Shiela Taylor who I had feelings for and she never knew. I left behind friends also, Kelvin Graham and John Nichols. If anyone knows these people please get in touch, it would be interesting to know what has happend to these old friends. I would love to return home for a holiday and to see just how much Lazonby has changed in over 41 years!
Lazonby Family
My husband's grandmother Ellen Graham lived in Lazonby, she firstly married Reginald Calland, and had 3 sons, Reginald died and she married Thomas Graham. They then had twins, Thomas and Ethel, then in 1902 Johnathan my father-in-law was born.
They lived at Scarrows Cottage in Lazonby. A couple of years ago we were on holiday in the area and were made most welcome by the present owners of Scarrows. It was extremely interesting to be in the cottage, which has since been done up, except for the cellars.
My husband's great grandmother was Mary Tinniswood, from Lazonby. She married (? Jonathan) Graham, father of Thomas who married Ellen. We don't know much about the Tinniswoods, and would love someone to please fill us in about them. We look forward to hearing from someone. Thanks.
Tirril
My name is Sandra and I am the little girl on the right of the picture. I lived at the Post Office with my grandparents, Mr & Mrs Robinson and I have very fond memories of growing up in the village. The bigger girl with me was Ann Tatters who used to take me to school at Yanwath.
