Below is a list of various websites that I have used as part of my research into the Scarrows. I have divided them into three categories: General sites; Sites specific to Maritime research; and sites specific to Cumbrian research. Clicking on a link will open up the site in a new page or tab.

Major Genealogy Sites

1. Ancestry A paid site, but well worth the subscription in my opinion.

3. Roots Web Some free to use resources.

4. National Archives An example of a well run, free, Government website.
