Margaret Tweddle was baptized 6 Mar 1728 at Lanercost, Cumberland the daughter of Thomas Tweddle and Margaret Robson who were themselves married 18 May 1721 at Lanercost. They baptized seven children at Lanercost. Margaret Tweddle was buried at Lanercost 28 Feb 1734/1735 at Lanercost. Thomas was buried 7 Mar 1777 at Lanercost. They lived at Ringing Hills near Lanercost. In the Howard Papers C129-15 at the Carlisle Record Office there is a receipt from Charles Earl of Carlisle to Thomas Tweddle dated 1 Feb 1733 for Rinnion hills Farme. A nice copy of his signature and crest (Bobbie Jean Hooser has given me this information). Thomas Tweddle at the time of signing this lease was of Ash, Lanercost. The lease was for seven years at 46 pounds a year.
Their children all baptized at Lanercost:
John was baptized 4 Jan 1722, married Jane Smith and died intestate in 1763
Isabel baptized 30 May 1723
Jeffrey baptized 22 Sep 1725
Margaret baptized 6 Mar 1728; married Henry Routledge 3 Oct 1759 at Lanercost
Mary baptized 28 Aug 1729 and buried 5 Feb 1730/31 at Lanercost
Thomas baptized 7 Jan 1731; married Ann Armstrong 13 Jun 1765 at Lanercost, died 1795
Elizabeth baptized 26 Apr 1734; married William Armstrong 24 Jan 1762 at Lanercost
Thomas (married to Margaret Robson) was baptized 5 Jul 1693 at Lanercost (died 27 Feb 1777 at Ringing Hills, and buried 7 Mar 1777 at Lanercost). His father was Thomas Tweddle and his wife's name unknown but they baptized five children at Lanercost:
John baptized 30 Sep 1691 (likely buried before 1705)
Thomas baptized 5 Jul 1693; married Margaret Robson 18 May 1721 at Lanercost
Margaret baptized 24 Aug 1697; married John Armstrong 10 Oct 1721 at Lanercost
John baptized 16 Mar 1704/05 (this is likely the John Twedel who married Jane Tweddle 4 Jan 1722); married Sybella Routledge 26 Nov 1742 at Bewcastle
Isabel baptized 2 Jan 1707

Eskdale Ward includes both Lanercost and Bewcastle along with another seventeen parishes (Denton, Farlam, Cumrew and Stapleton also have Tweddle families living there in 1641-42).
Lanercost is divided into five areas plus Lanercost village - Triermaine, Burdowswell, Askerton, Bywaters and Kirkcammeck. By 1829 Rinnion Hills is listed as being part of the manor of Kingwater.
"There were four manors of Lanercost; Askerton (which had Side, etc); Walton Wood; and Troddermain. There were five townships: Askerton, Banks, Burtholme, Kingwater and Waterhead. Abbey Lanercost is in the small hamlet in Burtholme Twp on the north bank of the Irthing 2 ½ miles north of Brampton . Askerton contained 74 dwellings in 1829 and lies between the river Line and Kingwater from 4 to 8 miles North of Brampton. It comprises the ancient Parish of Kirkcambock or Cambeck, the church was ruined. They are obliged to marry, bury and baptize at Lanercost and for their instruction in religion they go thither or to Stapleton, Bewcastle or whither they see fit. Askerton Castle lies on the east bank of the Cambeck rivulet which flows to the Irthing built by the Barons Dacre for the residence of the Land Sergeantof Gilsland who commanded a few men in arms to protect the barony against the inroads of Moss-troopers. The Earl of Carlisle’s manor of Trodder-main comprises the township of Askerton . Banks Twp in 1829 was divided between the twps of Burtholme and Waterhead. Gilsland had two large Inns. Island, a hamlet is in Burtholme twp. It containsthe hamlet of West-Hall and about 45 dispersed dwellings in 1829. from 4-11 miles NNE of Brampton . In the northern part of the twp is a wild mountainous tract called Spadeadam Waste. Waterhead Twp is divided from Northumberland by the river Irthing and had a number of detached swellings, with Gilsmalnd and Durdoswald. West-HGalll a hamlet in Kirgwater Twp 5 miles N by E of Brampton.

Thomas mentioned above as the father of Thomas Tweddle and grandfather of Margaret Tweddle married to Henry Routledge, would have likely been born after the Protestations Return of 1641-42 was taken. So I have no idea which of these men could be his father. Calling two sons John might make you think that he was the son of John but there are two John Tweddle's on this list. I do have some Tweddle wills and will take the time for this Challenge to transcribe them.

This John Twedall married Alice Hall 17 Dec 1724 at Cumwhitton, Cumberland (Find My Past). Cumwhitton is eight miles from Lanercost. John describes Richard as his kinsman. There is a Richard Tweddle baptized 28 Apr 1731 at Lanercost son of John Tweddle and also a Richard Tweddle baptized. A Mary Harding married Thomas Tweddle (my 1st cousin 5x removed) 28 Jun 1794 at Lanercost. However I do not have a Richard in this line. Some identify John Tweddle (uncle to this Thomas) as being the editor of this will and that he had a son Richard. I wonder why he just didn't name him as his son however and another dozen children are mentioned for John. I think that may be erroneous.
This next administration is for a person known to me. He is the brother of my 4x great grandmother Margaret Routledge.

Margaret Routledge returned to live at Lanercost after the death of her husband Henry as their eldest son William died at Askerton. But did she marry? There are burials for Margaret Routledge but I am not sure which one is her however I am convinced that she had died before Thomas emigrated to Canada in 1818 as he would not have likely left his mother behind. She did not come with them as far as I have been able to determine.
The Tweddle family remained at Askerton into the 1800s. They did not emigrate with the Routledges to London Township, Middlesex County.
