Do you have any information on the clergy around 1901, my Grandmother and her sister lived at the Roman Catholic School House (listed as number 34) although my Grandmother was only 13 her sister was Mary Ellen Arden and I believe she was the housekeeper, do you have any further information it would be much appreciated.

Sorry Lesley

This is the website for the Anglican Church. They are both called St Mary's.

Dear Colin

The church records are no longer kept at the church. They are with the County Archive Office in Whitehaven. I have checked on the Ancestry site however and Mary Anne Corkhill and Thomas Haffie are both listed in Volume 10b Page 1007 for the period you mention. The vicar at that time had the surname Curwen.

The website for the records office can be found at:-http://www.cumbria.gov.uk/archives/recordoffices/whrec.asp.

Hope that this is helpful.

I was wondering if anyone could tell me if this is the church that my Great Grandparents were married in. His name was Thomas Haffie and her name was Mary Ann Corkhill. They were married June 09 1892 by Rev. A.F. Curen or Curun. Unsure of the spelling sorry. Thomas was from Frizington and she was from Harrington as far as I can see. Thanks in advance

Just found your lovely website. Can anyone help me please? My Great Grandfather Robert Tinkler died in Harrington in 1909 at Williamson Street. Does anyone know if this street still exists and also where have the headstones gone?

Williamson Street no longer exists. Will find out about the headstones.

Have documented my heritage back to Robert De Haverington (1189)( my 26th Great Grandfather) and have reason to believe that my family settled in this area, especially around the period of time of John De Harrington (1281-1347). Your site was great and I will continue my search with hopes to visit your area. Any information or sources that you could provide would be greatly appreciated. I thank you in advance.

Hi my name is Kelly i am currenly doing my family tree. I am looking for John Roberts and his family. John Roberts owned the grocers shop at church road harrington. I am looking for any information or pictures about this man or his family. I know he was born in 1833 Cumbria and he died in Harrington around 1911. What a beautiful church and it was a pleasure to come and see it two years ago. Thank You & God Bless. Kelly Oliver.
