ALLONBY IN THE NEWS


To home page 

This is not exactly an index, more a list of index card entries, in a vaguely logical order (the logic of which is no longer very apparent, so you're advised to let your computer's "Find" facilities do most of the work). All references are to the West Cumberland Times (indexed approx. 1870-1920 in the Local Studies section of Workington Library), unless marked CP, indicating the Cumberland Pacquet (indexed approx. 1775-1855 at Whitehaven Record Office / Local Studies Library)
