The name Losh appealed here: Sarah Losh is famous for designing a church at Wreay in north Cumbria. James Losh was her uncle.
This portrait of James Losh (1820, by James Ramsay), together with one of his daughter Cecilia, can be found on his Wikipedia page. He was also renowned for his radical politics, and for keeping a diary, The James Losh Diaries 1802-1833. Life and Weather in Early Nineteenth-Century Newcastle-upon-Tyne. By Deborah Smith. Cambridge Scholars publishing (2019).
(James) Losh married Cecelia or Cecilia Baldwin, daughter of Roger Baldwin F.R.S., rector of Aldingham, then in Lancashire. There was a connection through Wordsworth, whose student time at St John's College, Cambridge had overlapped with Cecilia's brother John Baldwin's. They had a family of five sons and three daughters. wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Losh
Cecilia Baldwin and James Losh, of Woodside (near Wreay) in Cumberland signed their Marriage Bond (Ancestry) on the 29th January 1798, in the presence of Thomas Smith and John Hutchinson. This confirmed, on forfeit of £200 if proved wrong, that there was no impediment to marriage.
1841 Census
In the 1841 Census Cecilia Losh (65), was living on Independent Means somewhere in the Cartmel district along with (son?) Robert Losh (33), Frances Hutchinson (19); Elizabeth Hutchinson (17), and three servants: Alice Hilliard (50); Mary Taylor (35), and Ann Barrow (20). Cecilia’s age, either on the gravestone or in the Census return, must be erroneous.
