Hello all, Here are the latest records to be added to the Lancs OPC site. They currently aren't included in the search engine database so will need to be checked manually. Also the OPC are looking for a few more volunteers to help with register photography, mainly at Preston and Manchester.

Hi Bob Thanks for your reply. It is definitely Blackburn Lancashire, I copied part of the preface describing its contents, but didn't go as far as Lancashire. The title page says ST JOHN, BLCKBURN, LANCSHIRE, ENGLAND and beneath that CEMETERY RECORDS. The file name I downloaded it as is St John, Blackburn, Lancashire, England, cemetery records.pdf. I will email you a copy off list.The description in the preface suggests the information was compiled from the MIs and not from a record book.Comparing those who died between 1847 and 1853, they can be found in the listing on Lancashire Online Parish Clerks, so it does genuinely appear to be St John Blackburn Lancashire.I think I will have enquiries made at Preston, or even at Blackburn library, to see if they have any information to cast any light on the issue.

Many hundreds have been added in my absence, and as the Search Engine was updated on November 2nd, you will get full results of everything on there so get searching! http://www.lan-opc.org.uk/indexw.html 2 November 2016 We are looking for a few more volunteers to help with register photography, mainly at Preston and Manchester.

Hello Listers, I am trying to find what happened to Mary Alice BRAITHWAITE, born 10th July 1883 in Accrington, Lancashire. Her parents were Christopher BRAITHWAITE, born c1857 in Accrington, and Ellen (nee BEARE), born c1860 in Yeovil, Somerset. Ellen was my great aunt. They married in August 1880 in the Wesleyan Chapel in Antley, Accrington. At that time, Christopher was a cotton looker and Ellen was a machinist. At the 1881 census, Christopher and Ellen were living in Shadsworth Hall Coachman's Cottage; Christopher was a coachman and Ellen a housekeeper. Ellen died on 9th September 1883, when Mary Alice was only a few weeks old. The family was then living at 3 Bradshaw Street, Church, near Accrington, and Christopher was working as a groom. I can find no trace of Mary Alice after her baptism on 25th July 1883, in St James, Accrington. Ellen's family was hundreds of miles away, in Somerset, and I think Christopher had been brought up by his grandparents, so there was probably no close relative who could look after the baby. I suspect Mary Alice was brought up by another family. Since I can find no later mention of her, it's likely that her name was changed. I thought Christopher would probably have remarried as he was only 26 when widowed, but Christopher BRAITHWAITE seems to be a common name so I cannot be certain which, if any, of the later census entries, marriages, and deaths relate to him. Does anyone recognise this family? Or can anyone suggest how I might find out more? Yours hopefully, Marian (in Bristol)

Hello all and welcome back to RootsWeb! Yes, it's normally fairly quiet on the lists during summer, but not nearly as quiet as it has been for the last few weeks while RootsWeb underwent maintenance. Unfortunately, administrators were not informed of upcoming maintenance and that it was possible that we would not be able to access any RootsWeb functions, so I was in the same boat as you -- not able to communicate with you. Things are still a little iffy, but at least the lists are once again usable. RootsWeb staff say that not all lists and list functions are working and they could not give me a date when all problems will be resolved. Once the lists came back to life, some were hit by a lot of spam. We've been lucky so far -- keep your fingers crossed! If you are a member of a list that has been hit by spam, take pity on that list's administrator and don't reply to or about the spam on the list. Also please remember not to report RootsWeb as a spammer, since that might cause ISPs to block RootsWeb messages. If you find yourself unable to post to a list, check the address to which you're sending mail. The formula needs to be LISTNAME@rootsweb.com. Previously, mail sent to LISTNAME-L@rootsweb.com would get through, but that no longer seems to be the case. Some subscribers can't post to the list because of a block due to all the spam RootsWeb was receiving. I'm having that problem myself. If you're unable to post from your regular address, use Password Central ( http://passwordcentral.rootsweb.ancestry.com/) to check to make sure you're still subscribed. If you are subscribed, you might have to either wait until the block has been lifted or post from another email address. Well, that's the end of my report. Hope you're all enjoying summer. If you're not too busy, how about posting to the list? A little bit of on-topic trivia; a useful resource, old or new; news from the local family history centre or genealogy group; how you knocked down a brick wall or how you're struggling with one; what your ancestors did when they went on holiday -- it's all welcome. Kind regards, Lynne list admin.

Received from the Bolton & District Branch of the Manchester & Lancashire Family History Society: The next meeting of the Bolton Branch of the M&LFHS will be held Wednesday July 6th. Bill Huyton, from the Ormskirk & District FHS, will present fascinating research into the canal workers and their families who worked on the Leeds Liverpool canal and associated waterways of the south Lancashire area. Five large family groups connected by marriage have been identified and they now have 30,500 names in their trees. The research is ongoing, and Ormskirk & District FHS are always receptive to anyone enquiring about ancestors who might also have been working in that area. If anyone has watermen or boatmen or similar in their own family backgrounds, Bill Huyton is the man to ask about it. See http://www.boatfamilies.website for more information about this project.
