Hi

Before emigrating to Oz in 1990, I lived in Barrow-in-Furness, Cumbria. Close by there was an Old People's home called 'George Basterfield House'. I think it was named after a Councillor who probably served for many years on the local County Borough Council of Barrow-in-Furness.

It may be worth contacting someone from the local Family History Society or perhaps the council itself which is now Cumbria County Council. It was formerly the County Borough of Barrow-in-Furness, Lancashire before 1974.

Regards
Joan Peart
