Hello.
I have been trying for years to find out more about Agnes Brownrigg who is my Husbands 3rd Gt Grandmother. Agnes died in Liverpool in 1842 aged 60 years. So born about 1782? However she came from Westmorland. She married Thomas Kitchen in 1814 in Burton-in-Kendal Westmorland and i have only found one son Joseph born in 1817. The family eventually moved to Liverpool. I belong to Ancestry and i have had a hint of an Agnes Brownrigg born in Matterdale Cumberland 2nd January 1779. Asking for the impossible i know but how can i know if this is my Agnes. I do have the copy of marriage but it tells us nothing. Any suggestions welcome.
Thanks
Susan

Though possible, I don't think I would rush to claim the Matterdale Agnes as Matterdale is such a long way North of Burton.
FS have another possibility closer to Burton - an Agnes Browrig bp Yealand Conyers 1779, which could possibly be worth checking out.

The first Agnes Brownrigg is the one i have had as a hint from Ancestry but as you see from Sandyhall and Grisel there are a couple more and i can't see how i would be able to find out which if any are my Agnes.
Anyone have any ideas i would be grateful to see them.

Looking in Cumbria archives catalogue a Thomas Brownrigg of Burton appears before the magistrates 3 times between 1797 and 1801. Possibly a relation of Agnes? But does indicate at least one other Brownrigg in the area. Have you been able to check Burton in Kendal parish records for Brownrigg baptisms etc etc? There were lots of non conformists in that area too.

Agnes Brownrigg
I can't seem to get the parish records on line. Some years ago i got a copy of the marriage between Agnes and Thomas from the Kendal record office so when things become more normal i could try there but it still wouldn't help in finding out which Agnes is mine. If only they had put just one name of a parent how much easier things would be.
