Ancestors From Harrington

Harrington in Cumbria is where my Grandfather was born.. I am planning a trip to the UK this year and i thought it would be nice to visit the little town ,where so many Irish  made their home after leaving Ireland. I have just found on a Harrington Web site a photo of the Towns War Memorial and there was my Great Uncle's name Alan  McMullen.
