Hi Jennifer.
My great grandfather, Henry Fenwick Pickering from Hensingham married 24 year old Anne Vickers, a woman in service on a nearby estate. I am fairly certain she was the daughter of the Vickers family who kept the toll gate at Whinlatter Pass near Keswick. She signed the wedding certificate with X, but after Henry died in 1865 in Doveridge, Derbyshire she and 5 children moved south and took up work in Tunbridge Wells. She did become literate after marriage. Henry, after all, was a school teacher. Their first residence was in Frizington, then Silverdale, Lancs. where he was known as "poet of the village" according to his obituary, but I've never found anything he wrote.

Best wishes,
Wallace

  From the Pacific coast of the U.S. I thank you for the diligent efforts in transcribing early 19th C news. Although my great great grandparents and great grandparents (Vickers, Fenwick, Pickerings) have yet to appear, I enjoy this news more than the 21st C news of the day.
