Hello from Spain
Hi, this is the first time that I have used this site and I am not sure what I am doing. I'm trying to introduce myself, but I don't know whether I am on the right page. I'm hoping someone will tell me if I am doing it wrong!!
Right, the reason that I joined was because, although I am from from Cumbria, I worked for in Accrington for two years, I then came over to Spain to live. I had so much time on my hands that I decided to research my family history..... guess where thay came from???? Oswaldtwistle!! What a lost opportunity, I could have done my research when I was living there!!
On the 1861 Census it shows my g/g/grandfather (who was called Henry Fielding) living at 236 Busk, Oswaldtwistle. Does anyone know if this still exists, whether it was a tenement or a house. The family seem to come from a fairly impoverished background so I don't think it will have been in the 'posh end'.
Would love to hear from anyone, Diane
