I have been looking at the marvellous book called 'An Accrington Chronology and Men of Mark, by Crossley (1924) and come across an unusual name. I wonder if any descendants can tell me by what name Arsenius Massey of Clayton was commonly known. known. He was a councillor and died 1917 aged 77. I have not come across this forename before. I cannot see it catchjng on these days, except perhaps by members of the Hall family
