Atarah ; Thanks for your messages - sorry I could not respond - I got a message that the board did not recognise the membership.
No matter. Sorry I should have added to the above posting that the names of my Great Grandfather and Great Uncle were James (37) and Richard Osbaldeston (12). James had a daughter, Mary who was born shortly after his death in 1883 and she was my grandmother. Mary Osbaldeston married Herbert Lightfoot and had two daughters, Kathleen (my mother) and Doris. My mother left the area in 1941 to marry my father (an Aberdonian). My grandparents moved to Blackpool in the 40's and opened a B&B at 35 Shaw Road. If there any Lightfoots or Osbaldeston's out there who might be connected, I am delighted to hear from you - I have quite an extensive family tree on
Family Tree, Genealogy and Census Records - Ancestry.co.uk
Best wishes
Richard
PS Do you know if H Tootle's book is still available ?
