Hi Sue, nice to know your still on the trail. I did a little research on my own tree over christmas. I,m doing my mothers side, she was a Desoer, imagine my surprise when I found one living at Plantation Square in the late 1800, I,m sure they must have know your ancestors at that time, interesting eh. I do have Cronshaws on my tree, my sister was married to one but they came from Great Harwood I think. Keep in touch, Bryan.

Lindsey,

It is actually 62 - I understand that may still be there as well.

Sue

Sorry, 62 is still here too !

Sue1 · 19-01-2008, 10:08

Thanks Lindsey, What does it look like - must be very old if my father was born in it in 1900. Am coming to Accrington when the weather warms up! so will see it then.

Hi Bryan, There were also some Cronshaws living in Plantation Square in 1881 - there was a Mary Cronshaw and an Alice Ann Cronshaw. On the LDS site I had an interesting journey through Accrington yesterday! I logged on to the Plantation Mill Cottages Cronshaws that I knew about and where it says "next household" I just kept going and went from street to street - lots of Cronshaws but didn't come across your mothers name - it can't be a complete copy of the census because Sultan Street is not on it. It was very interesting though and you could see the more "well heeled" areas from those days by head of the family's occupation. Manchester Road seemed one of the most salubrious whilst Cronkshaw Alley seemed the opposite!

I also found by accident on Lancashire Parish Clerk's Project website something interesting which included a Cronshaw. They have some papers found in the basement of a company called Cemtex (or similar) - they were found I think when the building was being demolished. Because they have not yet been put on the formal records they have just listed temporarily what is on them. I actually found a Dean married to a Cronshaw from Accrington way back - this is a further connection between the Deans and Cronshaws if they are the same line. Because Blackburn and Accrington are close it might be worth looking to see if there is anything on there for you. I have printed it, can't find it at the mo (terrible accumulation of paperwork from all of this) but couldn't scan it to you as scanner is (I hope temporarily) kaput. My Cronshaws by the way are descended from Cronkshaw of Rochdale, John. I imagine all the Cronshaws are descended from here (he was 1645 if I remember correctly). There may also be a connection (distant I hope) with the Pendle Witches!!!!!!!!! This has of course been nothing less than my husband suspected. There seems to be an educated side to the family and a non-educated side - you can guess which side I came from!

Hi Sue, it's just a fairly non descript terrace to be honest. The majority of the streets in the Peel Park area look pretty much identical, if it's like mine ( and I would bet it is !) it will have a dining room ,sitting room, extension kitchen, pokey bathroom and 2 bedrooms, one of which will be too big and the other too small !

Sue1 · 19-01-2008, 18:45

Many thanks Lindsey. Most of our houses are like that I suspect.

Sue

Bryan, You said you were doing some of your own family research over Christmas - if it included your wife's Cronshaw's I have noticed that someone on the website Curious Fox is looking for Cronshaws of Gt. Harwood. I would be delighted if this was helpful to you.

ossy kid · 04-02-2008, 05:37

Actually Sue it,s my sister who married a Cronshaw and she,s going to give me some info to check for her, I,ll get back to you.

Hi Ossie, Can't remember if I mentioned I had found out that the first club secretary for Accrington Stanley was a Cronshaw (Harry I believe - he's not my branch of Cronshaws sadly). He also played for them - pre 1900 I believe. There may be a photo of him on the AS website.
I'm still struggling with my elusive lot - the Deans - I swear they were on the run and didn't want to be found - it would have been nice to find our half brother who could still just be alive - bet if he is, the way things have been going, he will be senile! The Cronshaws are pretty much complete. By the way, I had contact with Councillor Cronshaw - I believe her line of Cronshaws is the one that contains Woof (correct spelling) Cronshaw - she is also researching her Cronshaws - they are the Burnley lot I think. I think your Cronshaws, if they are the leaning toward Manchester ones, are the brainy ones - couldn't they have shared just a few cells. There was a C of E Canon to St. Pauls, and Wing Commander etc. If you want a copy of what I have, let me know and I will PM it - cant scan as scanner kaput as usual! Is Barnsley near you - I have heard mutterings about Portsmouth and Barnsley beating Chelsea and WBA. My husband was in a state of shock when he heard (we had been overseas for a month).Best wishes. Sue

Hi Sue,
Are you still there?? You sent me a message via Tribal Pages a few days ago. The email address you left is being returned 'undeliverable', so I have been unable to reply.

Your grandmother, Susan Ann Cronshaw, was my great aunt. Her sister Isobella was my grandmother, married to George Duckworth.

My email address is j.duckworth at yahoo.com. Grateful if you could email me.

Thanks

I'm new to the forum and doing a bit of family history into the Cronshaw side of my family

Christopher & Sarah Ellen were my Great Grandparents. Mary Jane Cronshaw was my Grandmother and married James Edward Taylor. they settled in Heywood Lancs.

Christopher, Sarah Ellen, Sarah Elizabeth are buried in Accrington Cemetery Grave No AE301 along with Mary Janes daughter, Lizzie Cronshaw Taylor, who died young from appedicitis.

Sarah Elizabeth drowned aged 23, March 3rd 1897 in Plantation Mills Top Lodge was found 4th March, Inquest 5th March, buried 6th March.

I'm still digging
