It stands out for two reasons: first, it looks \u2018too new\u2019 for someone who died in 1880, and; secondly, he is the only person named on it, with a lot of blank space underneath.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As for his age\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Lancelot Harrison<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Harrison is a common surname in the north-west of England. And Lancelot isn\u2019t a rare first name. You can read more about \u2018lots of Lancelots\u2019 in <a href=\"https:\/\/crimesofthecenturies.com\/index.php\/2021\/01\/17\/lancelot-pattinson-the-patterdale-cave-man\/\">this post<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But with exact dates, you\u2019d think it would be fairly simple to find him in the easily available records.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And yet, no. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>To start at the end<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There is a death notice, that says Lancelot Harrison died in Victoria Road, Penrith. (The probate entry says 4 Victoria Place). The date is right, but the newspaper says he was 87.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And so does the General Register Officer record for his death.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But this does at least give us an address to work on. And distinguish him from other Lancelot Harrisons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>An 1875 auctions notice includes two shops in Victoria Place, occupied by Lancelot Harrison and John Armstrong. Sounds promising, but what sort of shop? The short version is there\u2019s nothing to tie Lancelot Harrison with any kind of shop beyond this notice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Lancelot Harrison, a man of means<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>He may have rented the shop, but he owned property: in 1870, he was advertising To Let a house in Brunswick Terrace. And the 1868 poll book has a Lancelot Harrison (but no address to confirm it was this one). For sure, this Lancelot qualified to vote in the (higher) category of: \u2018voters in respect of property, including tenant occupiers at a rent of \u00a350 and upwards\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The muddy crossing<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In 1873, local folk had complained that the footpath in Victoria Road \u2018nothing but hills and holes,\u2019 and \u2018more like a ploughed field than a street\u2019. Particularly the crossing between the residences of Lancelot Harrison and Mr S K James, the solicitor. The Board of Health agreed the crossing should be repaired and the footpath asphalted.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rewind to 1864, and \u2018the causeway between the houses of Lancelot Harrison and Mrs Wilkinson\u2019 had already been before the Board. It doesn\u2019t state Victoria Road, but \u2018Netherend\u2019 fits, as does \u2018it was simply a road crossing\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The census<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>So, you\u2019d expect Lancelot to show up on the 1871 census at Victoria Road\/Place. I did find him on 1871, eventually, but will come back to that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The Carlisle City and District Banking Company<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In 1856-1870, a Lancelot Harrison, gentleman, was one of many participants in the Carlisle City and District Banking Company. Was it \u2018ours\u2019?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Well, in 1861, the bank\u2019s returns have him as being of Union Place, Penrith. And in 1856, a Lancelot Harrison of Union Place was advertising To Let a house on the High Terrace, Brunswick Square, which sounds like the Brunswick Terrace house of 1875.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But to confuse things, if you go back to 1850-55, the Carlisle City and District Banking Company lists included Lancelot Harrison, gentleman, \u2018of Carlisle\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The census (again)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>1851 Union Place, Penrith.<\/p><p>Lancelot Harrison, single, aged 50 or 54, retired gunsmith, born Dalston. And a domestic servant. If it is 54, that means born circa 1796. 50 would be circa 1800. Next door is a Sarah Clark, 44.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Now we are getting somewhere! &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>1861, Union Place, has Lancelot as 50, \u2018income from house dividends etc\u2019). Born Dalston, so has to be same one. Next door is a Sarah Clark, 54. But how can Lancelot be aged 50?!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There is no Union Place, Penrith, on current or old maps. But a \u2018furniture for sale\u2019 advert in 1864 refers to \u2018Union Place, Victoria Road\u2019. And a To Let notice in the same year refers to \u2018Union Place, Roper Street\u2019. Which runs off Victoria Road.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To sum up, Lancelot Harrison, retired gunsmith\/property owner, living in the right location to be \u2018ours,\u2019 was born either 1796 OR 1800, OR 1811.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But wouldn\u2019t have been 86\/87 in 1880.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Gunsmith&#8230;&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>So if Lancelot was once a gunsmith, there is\u2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>1841 Scotch Street, Carlisle.<\/p><p>Joseph Crozier Harrison, 20, gun maker (wife Anne, baby Anne), Thomas Harrison, 25, not born in Cumberland, Launcelot Harrison, 35, independent means, Margaret Harrison, 15, ditto, and a domestic servant. I have no idea whose sister (?) Margaret was!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>That sort of fits, BUT even allowing for 1841\u2019s round-up\/down, \u2018Launcelot\u2019 was born 1799 at the earliest. And what relation was he to Joseph Crozier Harrison?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019ll come back to the Crozier \u2018thing\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>1798 Dalston. A Lancelot was baptised, son of Lancelot H and Margaret Richardson. Dalston fits. And if \u2018our\u2019 Lancelot was 86 or 87 at death, then he was born in 1794 or 1793.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lancelot and Margaret married in Skelton in 1783. Other children are: Thomas 1784, Mary 1786, Matthew 1789, William born 1792, and Ann 1795.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Matthew died \u2018suddenly\u2019 in Shrewsbury, in 1820: \u2018second son of Launcelot Harrison, gun-maker, Carlisle\u2019. So, we are on the right track.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>1839 December. In Scotch Street, on the 5th, Margaret, widow of the late Mr Lancelot Harrison, gun maker, in the 82nd year of her age.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Other sources<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2018Chat\u2019 on a sporting website&#8217;s forum backs up this idea: Lancelot, born in 1758, was a blacksmith of Skelton, who set up in Rickergate as a gun-smith in 1807. He branched out from guns in 1811, and died in 1826.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Oddly, the only 1811 mention I can find is:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>\u2018All persons indebted to the estate of Lancelot Harrison, gun-smith are desired to pay their respective debts to Mr Blow, solicitor, otherwise Actions will be commenced for recovery thereof\u2019.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Which sounds like Lancelot has just died.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The website says that Lancelot born 1798 ran the business after his father\u2019s death, with sister Mary Ann. But Lancelot sold up when their mother died, in 1839.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The business was taken over then by his nephews and niece, Thomas and William Harrison and their sister Ann, who had married her cousin, Joseph Crozier Harrison. The first three were the children of his older brother, Thomas. Turns out Joseph was the son of Lancelot\u2019s brother William.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>&#8230;<\/strong>and truss maker<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are adverts for Lancelot Harrison \u2018gun and truss manufacturer,\u2019 Rickergate, Carlisle. They start \u2018Lancelot Harrison begs leave to acquaint \u2019 and include the information that L Harrison has been making \u2018bandages for the rupture\u2019 for \u2018upwards of 20 years\u2019. And also makes single- and double-barrelled fowling guns, pocket pistols and \u2018every other article attached to gunnery\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1871<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>And finally, after a lot of digging, I found:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>no 3 Union Court,aged, 60, rents from property etc, born Dalston. With a housemaid. And next entry up from no 32 Victoria Road.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But \u201960\u2019 means born circa 1811.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So we have a Lancelot Harrison living at Victoria Road, but who, dying in 1880, would have been 80 at most and possibly only 70 (take your pick from the census returns!).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Crozier Hall<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>So in 1841, there was a Lancelot, in Carlisle with a Joseph Crozier Harrison, 20, gunsmith. He has to be \u2018ours,\u2019 surely. But he is 35, which (with 1841 rounding up\/down) puts his birth (as other censuses) as 1805-1811.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With them are Joseph\u2019s wife (and cousin) Anne, baby Ann, 3m, and Thomas Harrison, 25: Joseph\u2019s brother.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Piggot\u2019s Directory for 1828-29 has William Harrison at Crozier Hall, Penrith. It was in Sandgate. William must have died about then, for in 1830, Mrs Ann Harrison, of Crozier Hall, married William Mattinson of Sockbridge Hall.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And by 1842 was occupied by Dr John Taylor, then by a family called Lowthian.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A guided walk leaflet has:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>\u2018Crozier Lodge, named after Ann Crozier and built in 1826 by (her) husband, a local gunsmith\u2026\u2019&nbsp;<\/p><p>Ann Henderson Crosier married William Harrison on February 18, 1817, in Carlisle.&nbsp;<\/p><p>Joseph Crozier Harrison was baptised, son of William and Ann, in 1818.&nbsp;<\/p><p>And a son Lancelot was baptised in 1824.
