Re: Greenhalgh Family

Thank you. Unfortunately, the Kent birthplace of John Rathbone shown on Roots Web is incorrect. I have his 1818 baptism record showing his birth at Rhuddlyn, Flintshire, Wales (I email the owner of this information to contact me.) And I have noted the other names you provided. Thank you.

Re: Greenhalgh Family

Hello again,

I checked the Internet for a Trevor Dorrian, and I found one who lives in Preston--the age matches the birthdate you provided. There is not any additional information. Can anyone find an address in the local records, e.g. phone book. Any help is appreciated.

Re: Greenhalgh Family

Hi,

I have never found any Greenhalgh's of this given name in my line. But you never know. Thank you.

Re: Greenhalgh Family

rannie, there's no Trevor Dorrian in the current Preston phone book.

Re: Greenhalgh Family

The Kent birthplace was a mistake one of the Census Forms, it actually mis-spelt Rhuddlan and put Kent as the County.
It shows the correct birthplace on all others.

I have a full record of the Rathbones from Census.

Re: Greenhalgh Family

I have an Adelaide Greenhalgh born @ 1831, daughter of Lewis and Mary Greenhalgh. Do you have any info?

Adelaide is my Great Great Great Grandmother

Today I met a daughter of the family who kept this shop. Her parents had come to Acc from Tottington, and were followed by other members of the family who owned various shops, grocery and bakers mostly. On another thread this shop was remembered with much affection.

The building on the left behind the lads was a covered market, probably privately owned and in competition with the Corporation's market hall across the road, but open 6 days a week. It was of wooden construction and painted green I think.

Only just seen this thread Bob.
Will Greenhalgh owned the shop by the ginnel as you said, I believe he originally ran it as a pawnbroker.
Will 's wife was Harriet, my mother's aunt, maiden name was possibly Pilkington but not sure of that.and when he retired his daughters Clemmie Riley (Clementine?), and Ada King ran the business, which was
In the early '50s, they sold floor coverings, carpets, rugs, lino etc. I used to deliver rolls of carpet, lino etc after school. I don't remember any furniture except maybe occasional tables, that sort of thing.
In the later '50s, Ada's husband Bill King worked there with Ada after Clemmie retired. As far as I can remember they sold the property in the '60s
