Original Order

The preamble states:

A true list of the inhabitants within the pishe of St Bees conssenting to the ptestation made in the yeare 1641/43

[the 1/43 could read 2/43 - the numbers have been written in a smaller script later]

Pickering Hewer split the list into groups. It’s not clear why - the groups aren’t family groupings, nor are they of equal size for counting purposes.

Columns in grey are my additions. They do not appear in the original.

Columns 5 & 6 give standard modern versions of the original names.

Columns 7 & 8 are my current guesses of the individual’s location and dates. Usually the reference is to probate as listed Nev. Ramsden’s Copeland Will index.
