The most north westerly county in England and home to the world famous Lake District.

Family and social history

• The Rutledge Family Association-The Dodgson Manuscript An excellent and dense family history document from the first half of the nineteenth century. The writer's main interest is the Dodgson family, but mentions many more families in the Longtown/Carlisle area with birth marriage and death details going back to the 1700's.
