Does that make any more sense Retalw ?? Earth to Retlaw.

Sarcastic beggar, I've lived here near 45 years,
don't know any one who moved from here to live up Eaton Bank.

Haven't forgotten this one ... contacts not proving too helpful. Will not give up ... !

Working the above system won't work, and was doing this before you mentioned it, you need a name ! Putting in addresses only brings up about 10 million options .. even the official Haslingden Registration references doesn't help. Any little hints would help though. Ok ... I know you will let me suffer.

To right you are going to suffer, You need the census returns in your hands not on some one eyed goggle box.
The census returns need to be indexed in the right program for it to work. Thats why I can go back to 1828, which is before the census's, but I have a list of ratepayers from that year.
Keep the tears flowing typical female reaction when all else fails try tears.

I'm enjoying this, that teach you for the remark about manipulating men.

Eeew . you don't half bear a grudge...

So it's the library then ? Don't know whether I dare step in that domain ... might come across this gentleman sat in a corner covered in cobwebs.

Is this still the question?

"I asked what was the name of the Railway Pub, before the railways were completed in Acc in 1847".

Even going to the library may not help if you have no experience of navigating census returns.
And less of the gentleman, when you refer to me, and theres no cobwebs either.
Found a couple of pictures that will drive you even more crazy trying to identify them.

Great LOL's Bagpuss .. yes, this is still the last question on this thread that still hasn't been answered yet. Was a slight digression somewhere along the lines.

If you have any clues p l- eee- se feel free to post them ... I will give you some karma if you get it, 'cause Retlaw won't.....

I will ask my mum who was/is involved in the indexing of the census's.

Not seen her yet but Retlaw seems to think she didn't do the years needed.

Do not accuse me of not being a tenacious apprentice of this research into this matter of the pre-Railway Hotel name. Have just spent over 2 hours in the Local Studies of the library. Seemingly, "Retlaw had just left the building !" so we are not destined to meet, unless you were the gentleman with the walking stick I held the door open for ...

So far, the occupant of the Railway Hotel in 1851 was a John Stevenson and his family. I know I am correct ... was in your records.

Did cross reference with 1841 records .. he was a coachman then. Only person I could find with the title of Innkeeper on Blackburn Street/Road was a George Kendall ... no name of establishment ... damn

Back to the drawing board.
