   I don't know whether Fellside is in High Mosser.

   It would seem likely that Sarah was Sarah Hodgson. Sarah is aged 66 in the   
   1861 Census, with her birthplace given as Ennerdale. John Mounsey married a   
   Sarah Hodgson in Ennerdale 02-02-1818 with the first child baptised   
   10-10-1818. A Sarah Hodgson was    
   baptised 14-08-1795 in Ennerdale - parents Isaac   
      
   Sarah's parents are named as Isaac & Mary Hodgson. There was a marriage in   
   Ennerdale 10-06-1775 between Isaac Hodgson and Mary Wilson.   
      
   John Mounsey was described as born in Distington in the 1851 Census, and   
   Gilgarran in the 1861. That's not a problem. However, no baptism that I can   
   see there. But there is a John Mounset baptised in the nearest port,   
   Whitehaven, with only a mother Mary    
   named 13-07-1794. This is perfectly consistent with, for instance, an   
   illegitimate birth.
