In 65 + years of life, nobody has ever mentioned to me that Grandpa Knight was born in the U.S. I'm trying to get my sister's attention. It ought to be something my mother would remember, but we never know these days. Thanks!
I'm still curious about "Bleasdale's" in the photo. Somebody posted that J. Beasdale was a laboror who lived at # 144 Whalley Road, so the photo might not picture # 144 as I previously thought, but there doesn't seem to be any record of a "Bleasdale" next to # 158, so I'm still wondering about the houses in the photo. There's the issue of the factory chimney, too. My mother went to dinner at my sister's today and said that is a photo of her - the far left child. Not certain we can put all our trust in that pronouncement. |
