George's birthplace was not Rockcliffe, as earlier reported. Ms Marilyn Winton found his baptism document, dated 10 Sept 1676 at Haslingden, Lancashire. The document indicated that he was born at GAMBLESIDE, near Dunnockshaw, Lancashire. While Gambleside is now a "lost" village (ruins only now), on a road map, it can be found near the main highway to Dunnockshaw. Ron Haworth, Editor.
