The 1871 found by Mary shows them living at 4 Hope Street, which is in central Barrow-in-furness. An area where many migrant workers rented homes.

It's highly likely to be him, the head of household Henry Fox is also a stonemason born Lamplugh, Cumberland - so same areas as both lodgers. In the 1860s there was a massive movement into the area for work - many (including some of mine) came from the Egremont area.

Thanks for all your help Mary but I cannot find a connection with James W Girven and Dacre Walker. What I might have to do is get his Death Certificate.

Thanks again to you all

Another lodger at the same address and also a stonemason.
Jame (James)Girven born Whitehaven Cumberland.
I think this is him James WALKER Girven 1838? died 1902 Lancashire.
looks as though he could have married 2/3 times.
If a connection could be found between Dacre and him then maybe we could get a result.

Even though it does say unmarried and age 27?........I think you could be on to something there Mary.

It looks like it could read........Dorcan on the image.

1871 Dalton Lancashire D16 >23
Loron Walker born 1844 Egremont Cumberland a stone mason and lodger not sure if it says unmarried or LORON as first name.
Really bad writing,just thought as he died in Rochdale Lancashire that there maybe a connection.
