quote=Retlaw;881966]I've already contacted the Gill's & Hargreaves's in Australia & Lancashire, about this thread & the link to the Fairy Bells. I met them both for the 1st time last October, when the Australian came over for a visit. I have helped both of them over several years in tracing their ancestors.

One of theirs was a Jonas Hargreaves who originated in Yorkshire, fought in the Penisular Wars at Talivera. He was buried in Accrington.
They have no link to the Spinning Jenny Hargreaves line.

And it was an absolute pleasure to meet you, Retlaw

Thank you all for the information! I am one of Hargreaves decendents by his son John living in the United States and it was very interesting to see all of the places where his family has gone.

I cannot understand why Atarah has not posted on this chap. Very interesting - new to me. I ask that the descendants get in touch with the library to ensure that they have a full record of HG - and that you post this information on the thread about Eminent Accringtonians.
The aforementioned Atarah will want the instrument for the proposed museum.

There is a gravestone in St James' churchyhard for another local chap who invented a musical instrument.

I have it all on a CD, given to me by a descendant in Australia.
