I originally created this blog to document my work on the family history of my grandmother, Maggie Goodfellow Story. Maggie was from the parish of Bewcastle in Cumberland, UK. After it became evident that other family historians were attracted to the site, I invited them to share their memories and family histories from Bewcastle and the surrounding parishes. And so, it is evolving into a useful research tool for genealogists. Please note, if you want to read my original work, you will need to scroll down to the beginning of the blog and continue reading up.

If you have information that you would like to share here, or a question, you need to become a blog author and make a posting. To do this, contact me at rosemarydale3@yahoo.co.uk, and I will send you a permission. However, I can not respond to requests for further information or assistance.

Nixon Enquiry

Hi Rosemary,
 
I hope you don’t mind me emailing you.  My dad David Nixon and I are currently researching our family name Nixon and we wondered if you had any further information relating to this name.
 
The few Nixon’s that remain now live in Yorkshire (a generation or two ago the Nixon’s mainly lived in the Oakworth area).  As far as we can research our family history originates from Bewcastle. 
 
If you have any publications you can recommend or share any information relating to Nixon’s history we would be very interested. 
 
Thanks and regards,
Michelle Nixon
