from lancsopc


"Historically, although Stalmine has a Church which dates from before 1240, it was actually an isolated fragment of the Parish of Lancaster. Despite the presence of this church in the village, many people would undertake the journey to the mother church in Lancaster in order to be married. When searching for people from Stalmine, the registers of St Mary Lancaster should also be consulted."


This is exactly what I was saying in the posting above.

It is possible of course that Nanny might not have been born in Stalmine ........ she would still be counted as "of this Parish" if she was living there, eg if she was a servant who had moved from some other part of Lancashire, or of England.


or her surname MIGHT be wrong ................ eg, Cornall could have been misheard for Cornwall, or Cornell
