Bankrupts.
James Entwistle, of Dunnyshop Factory, New Accrington, Lancashire. Cotton and Weft Spinner.
Sept 1808 at White Horse Clitheroe.

Yes its the same Dunnyshop, but factory
beats me, at that time even Broad Oak Factory was still a small concern.

Just an observation--put a comma after Dunnyshop might indicate that he lived there but factory was in Accrington.

Re: Accrington's History

Jonas Broadley, 1698-1770, lived at Dunnyshop for much of his life and he was a weaver, but I never heard of a factory there before. I wonder if the Entwistle FHS would know? Marie Ball

Hiya Snakehead.
Wondered when you'd chip in, since when has a cottage been a factory.:confused::confused::confused:
And mind your own business about my twiddley bits.
