At Kirkby Stephen, on Thursday, the 9th inst., Agnes SAYER, daughter of Mr James SAYER, aged 18 years. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I am a bit suspicious of the two deaths of a John MITCHELL on the same day. There is only one death of a John MITCHELL in Cumberland in June Quarter 1844 on FreeBMD, in Longtown District. Newtown of Rockcliffe is at grid reference NY 38 62 (in Kirklinton parish), and Crindledike at NY 38 60 (in Stanwix parish), so very close together (there is another Crindledyke in Kirkoswald parish at NY 55 43). I suspect that the two deaths listed refer to the same person but were received by the newspaper from two different sources, hence the discrepancy in age and slight discrepancy in place. This is the end of page 3 of this edition of the Carlisle Patriot. One more page to go! Petra
