Bob & Linda Reade,

I lived at 119 Dominion St. with my wife Linda and our children Robert and Helen (who were both born there). I was the Chairman of Walney Island Wildfowling Association until we emigrated to New Zealand in 1983, my mates were Geof Sharpe, Joey Kent, Ronnie Riley and Len Seward. I am trying to trace my cousin Susan Burgess-Tebbs (maiden name)  who lived at 22 Blackbutts Lane, she attended Walney School (in Ocean Rd.), I believe she may now be living in the Whitehaven area. I have not seen Susan for over 40 years, i am now 61 and it would be nice to re-establish contact before too many more years go by.

Bob, Linda, please can you contact info@walney-island.com with your current email address.

Colin McGivern, contact

I am trying to trace a family line / tree for my children regarding there blood line etc, and I have recently found out that my Maternal Grandmother came from Walney Island,  her Name was Winifred Nora Davis  born : 15-01-  ?   this bit is missing, possibly 1890 – 1910. Would you be able to direct me towards help.
