Lil, What a fluke if there was a connection!! My known TYSON relatives are Betsy (b. Camerton), Tom (b. Irton), Hannah (b. Camerton) and Eleanor (b. Bolton) children of Edward Tyson (blacksmith) and Isabella Fooster/Foster (not confirmed). If you come across these names in your tree make sure you get back to me! I know by 1861 the family including Edward Tyson were in Bolton, Lancashire. Regards, Emma x

You'll be wanting the clock to slow down next week! Have a brilliant time - and remember that if you don't have time to do everything you want, it'll give you the excuse to go back again! Enjoy.

Hi Emma On my previous thread 'is anyone else as daft' I said that I had found my gr grandfathers brother and that he gave me the creeps. Well he lived in Irton, Cumberland and he married Sarah Eleanor TYSON. They had three children that I am aware of, Mary Ann, Maggie and May all born 1880-1895. Are they any relation. Little

Thanks for all your best wishes, a whole week of walking in my ancestors footsteps. The clock still isn't going round fast enough.

Early tomorrow morning I wil be of to Cumberland for a week, the first time in .... years. I will visit Egremont, Ulpha, Irton etc and stand where my family once stood. I feel like a small child at christmas, as I am sitting watching the clock and praying that the hands would go round faster. Please wish me look when for when I visit Whitehaven RO and have before me untold messages from my families past.
