Re: Richard Ainsworth

Dear All

This is my very first post on this great forum and this is the first page i come to and you mention Richard Ainsworth who i think was great. I am related to the Accrington Friend and well wisher- Henry Parkinson, and without the Book The parkinsons of Lancashire book that i have i would not be able to trace some roots of my family history. 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.
