OWL HALL and ACCRINGTON HOUSE

[barnsie]

Hi All,

Would anyone have a copy of the Will of William Barnes of Accrington House who died 1864?
I am trying to determine if he was of our Barnes lot and there is presently an 8 week wait for the purchase of same.

Thanks.....

Hi Darby

Not visited Accy Web for some time.

Wasn't dark at all we were all carrying lamps and a short ladder, under the market there is a drop of about eight feet. We did it several times. Part of fire brigade training.

Walter.

I actually know a girl who lives at Owl Hall, if you walk to the top of Plantation Street to Arden Hall follow the small path on the right side and you'll reach Owl Hall, big big house, nice girl she is too lives with her family.

peace

Similarly there is a family connection between JOSEPH BRIDGE and my JOSEPH BARNES....I am trying to determine if my BARNES family lived in ACCRINGTON HOUSE at one time. I believe my ELLEN ANN BARNES married JOSEPH BRIDGE in 1871.

If anyone can help with some information on these names and/or estates I would be extremely grateful. I live in Australia and am trying to piece together my BARNES families of Accrington.

With thanks,

HI I USED TO LIVE AT OWL HALL WHEN I WAS YOUNGER AND HAVE SOME PHOTOS I CAN GET COPIED FOR YOU

Top of Plantation Street, Up the Coble Path, the house to the right that has had its wall knocked down and a drive leading up to it.
