Re: anyone know anything
Hello - have you tried FamilySearch.org - Family History and Genealogy Records - this has the 1881 census free online if
you know names of grandparents/grt.grndparents. Ancestry also offer a free 2 week trial which can give you lots of clues. Lancashirebmd and rootschat.com are also excellent. Good luck |

Re: anyone know anything
Get into Accrington Library's Local Studies dept. Contact the Huyndburn branch of the Lancashire Family History Society. - join that society even if for one year only. There is lots of help and advice to be had. A visit to the society's library in The Straits, Ossie, on a Saturday will be of great help.
