William Geldert married Ann Fell in Cartmel church on 18th December 1613. They had 7 children
all born in Cartmel including Edward who was born on 10th March 1617. We have received an enquiry from a descendant of Edward,
who lives in the U.S.A., and who would like to know more about Edward's GG Grandfather who was Richard (Richus) Geldart
married to Reta Ridehough in 1562. This is an optimistic request but if anyone has any knowledge of this family and where
they lived in the Cartmel area could you contact me please.

The Caddy family farmed at Greenbank Farm, Cartmel
until Thomas Cartmel Caddy emigrated to Australia in 1877. His GGG Grandaughter who now lives in South Australia is seeking
any information about the family, the farm and the family's involvement in Cartmel Church up until their emigration. Parish
records feature the Caddy family but if anyone comes across any other references in their research could they let us know
please.

Cartmel and Cark Pound. Both Cartmel (The Causeway) and Cark-in-Cartmel (at Rosthwaite)
had an animal pound or pinfold as they are both shown on maps dated around 1850. They have both been dismantled and only some
remains now exist. I am trying to find out when they disappeared and why. Can anyone help with this or have any old photographs
or later maps that can help me please?
