Cumbria memories

Grandmother's Stories

My grandmother used to tell me that I had the title of "Clarke of Sebergham" but couldn't tell me what it meant. She said I was decended from a Robert Clarke of Sebergham born in 1797 and his son James Clarke who married Annie Farrar. Their son James married my grandmother Emma Frances Godding. Very grateful if anyone can help in my research. Ian Clarke

Drive Through

Not much has changed from this photo to when I drove through in 2010.

Grandfather's Grave

As a child my father frequently told me that his father was buried next to John Peel in Caldbeck graveyard. I now live in Australia, but in 1997 I visited Caldbeck hoping to see my grandfather's grave. Unfortunately it was not in Caldbeck graveyard. A kind lady from the church shop helped me by showing me a complete map of all the graves in the churchyard. There was not a grave with the name James Rice on it. I left in great disappointment, but on my return home I began to trace my family tree and discovered that my father had been born in Thorn Tree Cottage, Caldbeck and his mother's family had lived there and at Cleator Moor for quite a long time.
My ancestors were the Whelpdales of Argill House, Stainmore and they  married into the Thornborrow family. I had lived in my younger days at Lazonby and Witherslack, where some of the Thornborrows also lived and died. In 2009 I have planned a return visit to Caldbeck,... Read more

Ancestor

My great grandmother was Margaret James who with her husband John, were tenent farmers near Calbeck from about 1897 to the late 1920's or early 1930's. My Mother told me that as a young girl, she, my Mother, spent her summers 'at the family farm at Caldbeck', that would be in the 1920's. I am wondering if my great grandmother would be buried at Caldbeck? I did make a short visit to Caldbeck on a holiday to England about 1960 but at that was not all that interested in family history so never made any inquiries at the churches or anywhere. I do remember taking a picture of the post office. Comments appreciated. Thank You.
