March 22, 2004, added a map of the area of Cumberland including the parish of Hesket-in-the-Forest and the towns and villages of Penrith, Aiketgate, Ousby, Low Hesket, Farlam, Lanercost and Skelton, the home of the Pickering, Burrow, Irving (Irwin) and Westmorland families of the 1700's and 1800's.
March 23, 2005, March 22, 2005 will go down as a truly productive day into the research of the Pickering families from the area around Penrith, in Cumberland, England. It started with the detailed examination of the parish records of the Church of England from the parish of Hesket-in-the-Forest, Cumberland, just to the north of the present City of Penrith. It was known that the origin of our William Pickering was originally from the parish of Hesket as per the census record of 1871 in Penrith. A close examination of all the baptismal records determined that there were two families in that parish generating young Pickerings and both of them having parentage of Thomas Pickering and wife Elizabeth. Our's was a stone-mason by trade as per the baptsmal records of the children of Thomas and Elizabeth (matched up with census records) and the other was a Tailor.. (spelled Taylor on the baptismal records). Having cleared this confusion up, the marriage record of our Thomas Pickering and Elizabeth Burrow was located for the 11th day of June 1821 in Hesket parish. The origin of Thomas Pickering was determined to come from the couple of William Pickering and Hannah Westmorland with their marriage on the 16th of December 1795 in Ousby, Cumberland. The Burrow family was easy enough to research with 11 children being born in Lanercost, Farlam and Penrith from 1792 to 1813 to the couple of George Burrow and Jane Irwin or Irving (married 14 June 1791 in Lanercost, Cumberland) depending on who was doing the spelling. It was very interesting to note that the tradition of naming the children after the grandparents was followed to the letter by Thomas Pickering and his wife Elizabeth Burrow when they named their first four children William, George, Jane and Hannah.
All of the villages of these families (Low Hesket, Aiketgate, Ousby, Lanercost, Farlam, and Skelton) are centered around the larger towns of Penrith and Carlisle, Cumberland and it would appear that the families moved from village to village as employment presented itself.
