Elizabeth Pickering, wife, married, female, age 56, Mason's wife, born Cumberland, Penrith

John Pickering, son , unmarried, male, age 6, scholar, born Cumberland, Penrith

bullet Research Notes:

A close examination of the Church of England registers for the parish of Hesket shows that there is another family that could easily be confused with our family of Thomas and Elizabeth (Burrow) Pickering. This other Thomas Pickering was a Tailor by trade and whose wife was also named Elizabeth. This other family had at least three children baptized in the parish; Margaret on July 26th, 1818, John on 6th August, 1820 and Frances on February 16th, 1823.

bullet Noted events in his life were:

• Occupation: Stone Mason, 1821, Aiketgate, Cumberland. ¹⁰

• Occupation: Stone Mason, 1831, Penrith, Cumberland. ¹³

• Occupation: Stone Mason, 1834, Penrith, Cumberland. ¹⁴

• Occupation: Stone Mason, 1838, Penrith, Cumberland. ¹⁴

• Occupation: Waller, 1841, Penrith, Cumberland. One would suppose that a "Waller" is the same as a stone mason?

• Occupation: Mason, 1851, Penrith, Cumberland. ⁷

• Residence: Rowcliffe Lane, 1851, Penrith, Cumberland. ⁷

Thomas married Elizabeth Burrow, daughter of George Burrow and Jane (Irving) Irwin, on 11 Jun 1821 in Parish Church, Hesket in the Forest, Cumberland.¹⁵ (Elizabeth Burrow was born in 1797 in Cumberland ⁷ ⁸, christened on 22 Oct 1797 in Farlam, Cumberland ¹⁶ and died after 1851 ⁷.)

bullet Marriage Notes:

Hesket, sometimes called Higher-Hesket, and sometimes Hesket in the
Forest, to distinguish it from Hesket-Newmarket, lies in Leath ward, on the road from Penrith to Carlisle, at the distance of about nine miles from each.

It is divided into the townships of Upper and Nether-Hesket, Peterell Crook, and Plumpton Street and Cawthwaite; containing together, in 1811, 227 houses and 1,205 inhabitants. The greater part of the parish is within the Duke of Devonshire’s manor of the Forest of Inglewood, purchased in 1787 of the late Duke of Portland, whose ancestor acquired it by grant from the Crown.

The forest courts are held yearly on St. Barnabas Day in this parish,
in the open air, at a tree called Court-Thorn, by the road-side between Upper and Nether-Hesket. At this place the inhabitants of above twenty townships [a] attend, out of whom a jury is balloted and sworn. Here are paid the annual dues to the lord of the forest, and other customary payments. The commons of this parish have been inclosed under the act of 1803, for inclosing the forest of Inglewood.
