Gee, I put something up here, go to bed and wake to find you've all been working well for me...lol

UJ...it's all the Lakes District area..

The Flemmings/Holmes/Rigge/Sawrey/Kirkby/Sandys/Dixon lot all show up in wills as witnesses and executors.

Just thought of something....but it could take me a little while to search it out.

In one of Agatha and David Kirkby's childrens baptisms, they give Agatha's name as Agnes. In the BT's the bishop has mentioned her name was Agatha and it was her mother in law who was Agnes.
That was Agnes Addison (daughter of Hugh) who married William Kirkby in 1727.

Wordsworth kindly gave me David and Agatha's tree in his autobiography as he wrote his first ballad about Mary Rigge, the lady who had David Kirkby's illegitimate son and then died of a broken heart before he married Agatha.
