Howgill Parish Church

Visited church and local area to see for myself where my ancesters lived over one hundred years ago. They were Robert Gibson and his son, also called Robert, both of them farmers. I first discovered Howgill and Sedbergh back in 2002 and was amazed by its beauty and peacefulness.  This area has made a lasting impression on me that I shall never forget and I will always regard Howgill as my special place.

A memory of Howgill in Cumbria shared on Tuesday, 5th August 2008.

RE: RE: Howgill Parish Church

I read your message board describing the Marthwate parish church near Sedbergh and the two local farmers who lived there in the 19th century who were your ancestors - father & son both called Robert Gibson. I'm currently researching their Gibson genealogy for my friend Millicent who is their great granddaughter and 2 x great grandaughter. I would be delighted to swap family history stories of the region. Graham Caldwell at gljcaldwell@ozemail.com.au
