Hi,
Thank you for replying. I've just managed to make a big step on my Cartmer branch (just a week ago actually). Yesterday I got a copy of Isaac Cartmer's will and Jane definitely did have a son called Thomas Blain. I've also heard that she was a widow (even though she is listed as spinster on her marriage to Isaac). If this is true I've got a lead that I need to check up on which suggests that she might have originally been called Jane Wood. I have both Isaac and Jane's burial records now which give their life spans as Isaac 1791-1830 and Jane (1783-1832) Jane probably died of Cholera and Isaac died "after an illness of only two days".
I'd love to be able to keep in touch with you directly to see what information we can share. I've got some information on the Cartmer family from the Cumbria Family History newsletter from 1988, which suggests that Isaac was decended from the Dykes family, who can be traced back to the 1200's it would be exciting if it were true, unforntunately the person who wrote the article has died so I can't get in touch with him to find out where he got the information, so I''l have to look for the evidence myself.
regards
Katrina
