Re: Laneside Schools
This is St Peters Laneside in Haslingden.
I have the same picture of the School which is now the Community Hall. |

Re: Laneside Schools
Hi there, does anyone have any knowledge of a ROBERT METCALFE who was recorded as living in BUSK, Oswaldtwistle in January 1855? The birth of my great, great grandfather, JOHN JAMES HARDACRE occurred in Busk, Oswaldtwistle (mother MARIA HARDACRE) at this time. The "occupier" of the residence on the birth certificate is listed as ROBERT METCALFE at Busk. My suspicions are that this place was temporarily rented as it it seems Maria was pregnant to a member of the aristocracy in Yorkshire and this Robert could have been an employee of this aristocrat who was sent with her to register the birth in another county. (Such a wonderful mystery! I am an author so all of this really stirs the creative juices!) Thank you to anyone who may have knowledge of this Robert…and could anyone tell me exactly where the BUSK area of Oswaldtwistle was in 1855. From my research it appears to be close to the Straits and Union Street, near Tinker Brook, and I do believe there is an old map showing it but I cannot trace this map online. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated … many thanks from Sydney, Australia. Cheryl

Re: Laneside Schools
Robert Matcalfe was probably the man referred to as 'Tar Bob' as he owned a works in Church which distilled tar. At some time in the past I did some research on him which I think showed that he married his Yorkshire housekeeper and adopted her children. Retlaw helped me with that, but at the moment I have no time to look for it.

Re: Laneside Schools
Thank you Bob Dobson, I very much appreciate your time on this. i will do some more research on this "Tar Bob". This could very well be him as this boy is said to be born in BUSK, Oswaldtwistle…but in other places, like the census, it says his birth is in CHURCH…which is where you say this "Tar Bob" lived. Thank you kindly for your time on this…it is much appreciated from someone on the other side of the world! Cheryl
