[List-Cumbria] [GENEALOGY - CUMBRIA] Carlisle Patriot 1816

[ROLAND EDGAR]

Happy New Year Petra and the rest of the list members.


All these years I have been reading the transcriptions and have not yet 
found a family member, BUT, I live in hopes.

Thank you Petra.

Roland (Still alive and kicking in South Cumbria)

A very happy New Year to all members of the lists – may you all stay 
healthy in 2022, and manage to knock a few bricks out of your brick 
walls!

To help with the latter, I am starting up posting transcriptions again.

The run of the Carlisle Journal ended in December 1815. The British 
Newspaper Archive have the Carlisle Patriot for 1816 (I previously did 
the Carlisle Patriot for 1817 to February 1821).

The Patriot is a Conservative paper, whereas the Journal is 
Whig/Liberal. You will notice some subtle changes in the way they report 
the news. For example, remember how the Journal made fun of the poor 
design/execution of the new bridge? Well, the Patriot is full of praise 
for the bridge...

I have so far managed to transcribe up to mid-April 1816, which gives me 
enough posts to take us through to mid-February 2022. I shall try and 
continue transcribing, but at the moment it feels like a hand-to-mouth 
existence, and I cannot promise that I shall be able to keep up with 
daily postings.

As before, all transcriptions will also be posted on the forum of the 
Cumbria Family History Society 
https://cumbriafhs.com/smfmsgbrd/index.php 
<https://cumbriafhs.com/smfmsgbrd/index.php>   (scroll down to the 
Transcriptions Section and choose the "Carlisle Patriot" Board). This 
sections is open to all comers. However, if you have Cumbrian ancestors 
and are not already a member of the Cumbria FHS, why not make it a New 
Year's resolution to join? Annual membership costs less than a single 
Birth, Marriage or Death certificate... and you get access to so much 
more on the forum, as well as four really interesting magazines a year.

One last plea: Transcribers thrive on feedback for their transcriptions. 
Please let us know if you have found an ancestor or a relative mentioned 
in a transcription, or if you found something interesting, or if you 
have more information about people or events mentioned. These lists have 
been deadly quiet since I stopped sending transcriptions in September, 
and I miss the fun of discussions and shared research!

Best wishes,

Petra
