HaHa very funny!! No I am not related to the Shanks's from Dowry Street. My late hubbys family originate from Bury. I was Renton before I was married. I lived at 24 Mill Street. My lads get called Shanksy.

It is interesting that there were, and are, some street names which have been duplicated in Accrington. There were two Ashworth Streets, one of them in Bash. I wonder if Bash was not in Old Accrington, and when it became part of Accrington?.

On the 1851 and 1861 censuses some addresses in Baxenden/Lower Baxenden were in the Township of New Accrington.
