In another Register Book are the following entries: January 30th 1731. John, son of Thomas Crosby of Cocklake. August 1737. Edward, son of George Crosby of Tebay. There are no monumental inscriptions of this family recorded in Bellasis' 'Church Notes' either for Orton or Crosby Ravensworth. (F. B. GARNETT, Esq., C.B.) STORACE. (Vide Vol. I., page 161.) "P.
