I finally made it to Carlisle!! The resources at the Lanes library are excellent: electoral rolls, parish records, BDM on fiche and newspapers. I've got one day left, not sure if I need to go to the new archives centre!!

I have hit a problem, and need advice. I have a birth certificate which states 'sub-district' of St Marys. The mother lived in Duke street. I have search the parish record film here in the library, the child was born 1896, I looked at the year range 1895-1905 just to be cover delays. Nothing found. In these registers there were no baptism from parents with a Duke Street address. perhaps looking at St Mary's was a waste of time? Can anyone please advise me which registers I should be looking at?

Thanks
