I do have Cronshaws on my tree, my sister was married to one but they came from Great Harwood I think. Keep in touch, Bryan.

Just read ths thread again.
There were three Desoer's joind the colours in WW1.
Edward Pte. 2216. R.F.A. awarded M.M. lived at 7 Westwood St,
George Desoer. Dvr. 2217. R.F.A. 9 Plantation Mill Square.
James Desoer. Dvr. W/4044. R.F.A. 0 Plantation Mill Square.
In some of the earlier posts Sue mentions Plantation Mill Cottage, that was by the old mill and was not in Plantation Mill Square.

used to know a Tony Desour, liked a drink or 2, died years ago, was probably related to those i imagine, as not a popular name.

He was related Cash and we used to hang out as kids but didn,t know we were related. He,s buried up Dill Hall. Thanks for the info Retlaw.

Hi biwatereng, do you want some info on your tree or do you prefer to do it yourself? A quick check revealed you have a Cronshaw/Dean marriage on your tree. Bryan.

if that was mid 60s, our paths have probably crossed at some point.

Any information would be useful, my brother in Canada started this & I've started to get involved. My Brother has lists of names but can't expand them into other descendants. My interest is with the social aspect of how my relatives lived their lives

Hi All

I have been asked to put this picture on to see if anyone either recognises the picture or knows anything about the artist.

It was painted in 1896 by T Duckworth and was recently found by a relative when clearing a recently deceased parents house.

I wonder if this chap painted any other pictures or is known in any way locally as an artist. Really want to know if he is a member of the family - there certainly was a Duckworth but not a T Duckworth.

Would love to know more. Sue

Picture to follow I hope!

He married Jane Wigglesworth in 1855 in Accrington, she was born in 1825 and died in 1880, that,s why you cant find her in the 1881 census. I,ll get back to you as I find more info. Bryan.

Just been re-reading this thread, and the following quote
christened 9-May-1824 at New Jerusalem Abbey St Accrington.

The New Jerusalem Church, Abbey St, Accrington, aka (Swedenborgs) wasn't built until 1848, before that there was a small building about 20 ft long used as a school. There was a small Chapel in Chapel St, Accrington, they were Calvanists.

Ossy kid ,sorry you are correct Deoer not Desore I think I was either a bit tipsey at the time of posting or I copied and pasted from somewhere complete with spelling mistake.
I have some information from Bryan in Canada who has done quite a bit of research on the Desoers he seems to be the one to get information from should you want any.
I would like any information that you may have regards Noel Desore and his wife and if you have it a phohto of my great aunt/wedding.
The older gentleman in my profile pic is her brother Im one of the babies along with my mother and two uncles.

Hi accypete, this is Bryan in Canada. I've got a lot further with the Desoers now but tomorrow I,m off to Palm Springs for a month but will get back to you in April, Bryan.
