I have researched the majority of this book and have double checked his entries and have found them to be most accurated, i hope people of my generation will do what these men did and keep the local history alive and kicking for us all to enjoy, im only 30 and hopefully i will be able to do an updated version of Ainsworths book eventually.
I was also wondering if by chance anyone out there had any information on the Lightbound family from Accrington, i cannot find very much before the 1870,s or if anyone that still exists in Accrington with this name, any help wuold be greatly appreciated.

Hiya Rachel,
I'm descended from Lightbowns of Ossie and Accy, the name is sometimes spelt Lightbound, not sure if there's a connection, please PM me.
