I'm trying to find out about the Mary Forrest born c1847 who married James Richardson born c1846 and had children in Carlisle and Workington.The children were: Margaret, James, Hannah, John, Robert, William, Thomas, Mary and Joshua.

I woul really like to find out about her parents,where they came from etc.Also anything else about the same Forrest family who lived in the Carlisle, Workington area. They are thought to have come from Scotland and to have been connected with the orange order.-I'm also interested in finding out about this.

Some of the Forrests moved to the US in the early-mid 20th century. I'd like to find out what happened to them.
