There appear to be 2 Joseph Douthwaites both born in Ellel one marries Agnes and one marries Alice is yours one of those? Just found another who marries an Ann!

Ellerl was within the parish of Cockerham.

The parish registers will be at lancashire Record Office at Preston.

Hi Col
Some of my "Cornies" born in Ellel/Galgate with Cockerham rego's.
My late bro went up that way for me, he found lots of info at Ulverston Heritage Centre, the people there were just fantastic. Nothing was too much trouble.
