Hi Retlaw,

My maiden name is Margerison, and I grew up in Accrington, though I now live in Canada, and have been researching my family history for many years.

I understand that your main focus is on the Hyndburn area, and I don't know if you have any interest in surrounding locales, but I do have a lot of info - and photos - on relatives who served from the Haslingden area. I understand that you have done some work with William Turner? One of my relatives was mentioned in his book : "The Men of Haslingden Grane", and I have several photographs of relatives in uniform, as well as war records and various details that you may be interested in. I am most happy to contribute to your work if you are interested. Let me know. Or perhaps you have info for me that I have not been able to find.

My main research interest is in the Margerison line but my maternal Grandfather was said to have been a sniper in the war.

I am always pleased to see people working so hard to preserve the amazing history of people and places. Thank you !
