These pages are focused mainly on the Faulder Family of Cumberland (United Kingdom) descended from Robert Faulder (~1691-1765) and his wife Isabella (~1694-1767 – maiden name as yet unknown) and then on other families from which I am also descended.
This may be extended in cases where research of maritally related lines (such as the Blaylocks or Crowthers) may yield more information about the main ancestral lines. The main example of this is the family of Catherine Blaylock’s first Husband (Robert Faulder) – her second husband, from whom I am descended, was also called Robert Faulder. See The Parents of William Faulder (b 1804)
In addition I have included some details of “Surname Lines” to which I have not yet found any relationship. This is partly to answer “are we related” type comments but also in the hope that others may be able to suggest how the lines may be related.
Author
The content of these pages have been prepared by me, David Faulder (one of Robert Faulder’s 43 (at the last count) known Great Great Great Great Great Grandchildren). To contact me please add a comment – or email me using the address:
Unless otherwise requested comments added to a web page will be considered public and will usually be published, whilst emails will be considered private.
Navigation
A separate page summarises my ancestors together with links to details of their descendants. This is a good place to start if you want to trace some of the other families discussed on these pages.
To navigate these pages use one of the many options on the right hand side:
- Browse items according to “Biographies”, “Family Trees”, or “Photographs” selected from the menu.
- Read recent additions.
- Select items according to “tags” that have been attached to them – the larger the typeface for a particular tag, the more items there are. This is probably the most comprehensive access method.
- Select items according to a structured set of categories.
- Search on keyword
Selecting any of the above will show the associated stories – most recently published first – if there are a significant number there will be a link to “Older Posts” at the bottom of the page to take you to further stories.
Commenting
Please feel free to add comments using the comment box at the end of each post. As said before general comments are assumed to be for publication: please use email if you want to communicate privately.
Any relevant comment be it an addition, a correction (or a specific objection) is welcome.
Comments of the type “Are we related?” are especially welcome – finding possible cousins who may be researching common ancestors is always useful. Such comments are collated on the “Are we related” group of posts.
Spam detection and processing
At the moment I have set up the commenting system to allow anyone to comment. But because miscreants attempt to fill sites like this with offers to sell you things for problems you did not even know you had, all comments are automatically filtered.
Those automatically filtered as spam may be deleted without further review – particularly at times of high volumes of spam. Those automatically filtered as unlikely to be spam are manually reviewed by me before they appear on the website.
There may therefore be a delay before a comment shows on these pages. If you have sent a comment and it has not appeared within a few days it may well have been filtered so please email it to me making clear that it is a comment that you have attempted to send.
Subscribing
You can “subscribe” to these pages by selecting the RSS feed links at the bottom of the menus on the right of these pages.
The “Entries Feed” will inform you of all new items added to these pages, whilst the “Comments Feed” will inform you of all new comments added to any items on these pages.
If you only want to subscribe to the comments relating to a particular item, there is a text link just below the last comment on the left hand side.
Many people use their email software or a dedicated News Aggregator (such as QuiteRSS) to read RSS feeds. You configure your software (by clicking on the relevant link) so it polls my blog for updates. With RSS feeds, I have no record of who has “subscribed” – you control your privacy.
“Unsubscribing”
RSS feeds are “pull” feeds (by you) not “push” feeds (by me), so to unsubscribe you just delete the relevant entry from your RSS feed reader. I can’t unsubscribe you because I do not know who you are, and there is nothing in my system that tells me who has subscribed to RSS feeds.

Dear Mr Faulder,
>>privacy cut< < a speculative Google search for my Grandfather led me to your fascinating site, as we are related! My Grandmother was Annie Gwendoline Shelley Fell and she did indeed marry Lt Col Claud Furniss Potter CMG DSO, a career soldier. They had 3 children, >>privacy cut<< I would be very happy to give you any further information that you would like. Best regards, Tony Potter

Of passing interest – I have an 18pr shell case engraved:
The name ‘S C Brierly’ is engraved in his handwriting which matches that on his letter to Marjorie Fell Faulder

Hi there,
I am currently researching my line of Keirs and noticed that the name William Faulder Keir is in nearly every generation since a William Faulder Kerr born 1797 in Cumberland and wondered where this random middle name came from. Thank you creating this website, it is very helpful
