Farms in Ossie

Ive been looking at the Blackburn Standard newspaper on-line. In the issue of 20.4.1864 is an advert for an auction of several farms in Ossie. Some excellent information in it.I've not heard of some of the farms. Use the keyword 'Grundy' to find the ads. He was the auctioneer

Most farms in Ossy have been there far longer than 1864, I have my own list of all the Farms in this part of Lancashire.
