Old Lancashire Maps (Beyond the current boundaries)

I think this is in the right place...I am trying to find old online maps of the old Lancashire, specifically Bolton...

As you may be able to tell by my user name I have indeed moved to Bolton. Since arriving here 15 years ago I have found out that I have ancestors that lived within a couple of miles of where I now live. With this in mind I would like to pin point where they lived.

Lancashire's MARIO website is a brilliant resource and being an LCC employee I can also access a good 1845 map of the county, What I can't get at is any such online maps of the town where I now live as Mario conveniently stop at the border.

Have any Accy webbers come across such a map during historical research, any help would be warmly received.

You're no doubt right Retlaw, I'll probably have to get of my lazy backside and do it the old fashioned way. LCC's maps online have spoiled me rotten.:)
