Hi Denise (and Kathleen),
Thank you for attaching the 2 photos of Eastgate. I enjoyed looking at those. I've
attached the 1841 census page that you mentioned. So Maria [WHITEHEAD] CARTLEDGE had
younger siblings living in close proximity. Can you explain the probable living
arrangement to me? I find this interesting as my husband and I have 12 children spanning
24 yrs. They're all ours. We'll be celebrating our 39th wedding anniversary next
week. The oldest 7 are married in homes of their own with their respective families. I
love them all dearly, but am grateful we do not all live together 24/7. Our annual family
reunions are wonderful, but it's nice to return to a fairly quiet house. Bede Bank
House looks as if it was home to 4 generations all at once.
Do you have any clue if the rest of the families listed are also relatives: BELL, HUNT,
WILCOX, MANSFIELD, HAIL and CLARK? I do not have a copy of the next page so I don't
know if the list of residents continues. Also Mary WALKER is listed after Charles and
Maria BELL; I wonder if that is significant of a possible relationship.
Denise, am I correct in thinking that you reside in England?
Hoping to hear from both of you again, soon.(And also from anyone else who may be
connected)
