Re: Southworths Tripe Stall established in Acc 1850
Having a widowed mother living with her son/daughter and spouse was not uncommon. It was not ideal, but often brought about by economics or poor health. My mother came to live with us for a short while, and I promised my wife that if it became necessary, her mother could come to live with us. My grandma lived with my aunt and her husband. I suspect that PC Halliday was an Accrington Borough bobby rather than a county one stationed at Church. Check the County Police possibility on the website of Lancashire Archives. It will cost you to get his record sent out.
