Initially concentrating on Faulders born in Cumberland (and their descendents) as detailed by the censuses of 1841-1911. This work is being held on Ancestry.co.uk. There would appear to be about five strands of Faulders in Cumberland. By charting them it is possible by matching some people to unrelated strands to be certain that they are not part of our strand. Unless, of course, tracing their ancestors gives a clue to ours!

Dwight,
It has taken me a while (for various reasons) to look into David Johnson Blacksmith of Allonby, Cumberland. From my research it would appear that he married twice – his first wife was Mary Faulder and his wife at the time of the 1871 Census was I believe Mary Graham.
After 1871 the family becomes harder to trace – do you have any further information? I wonder if you are based in the US or Canada and have come across the family possibly after they had emigrated?
Regards
David Faulder
