Thanks everyone. The street was so small that no wonder I couldn't find it.

Farmer Street is shown on the Alan Godfrey 1908 map Lancashire Sheet 87.13. Heading north along Fletcher St, Bolton you pass on the right first St Mark's St, then Doman St, then Lake St. The next street along is Albion St, followed by a block of terraced houses, then the junction with Bridgeman St. Half way along the terrace and behind it, is the very short Farmer St, running to the east.

Hi Margaret, Bolton Archives might be able to help, as there would probably be an obituary in the local newspaper, which would give details of his life and service as alderman. E-mail address [email protected] Give them as much information as you can, including his date of death if you have it.

I understand from my Great Aunt that her husband was an Alderman of Bolton. His name was Fred Pardon and he died in 1952. I believe he ran his own building company. I can anyone inform what being an alderman entailed and also where I can find out when he was an Alderman. I have enquired of the Mayor's office at Bolton Council but all they have been able to provide me with is a list of former Mayors of Bolton.

Hello list On my grandfather's marriage cert (1916) it says that he was living in Farmer Street Bolton. Could anyone tell me which part of the town it was in?. I have the "Alan Godrey" maps for Bolton and Bolton North (1908) and a map of 1920 Bolton. Hopefully the street may be on one of them.

My grandfather's elder brother Robert HUCK is listed in the 1911 and the 1916 city directory of Bolton as being a mill manager and living at 6 Ash Bank in Astley Bridge. I cannot find Ash Bank in modern street maps (Mapquest or Multimap). Does anyone know where it is or was? And this is a guess: He had children who were my mother's cousins and their names I THINK were Leonard, Esther and Muriel, and I do not know what happened to them. Anybody know? Best regards - Mary Mahoney

Hello everyone, >From time to time I used to post to the Lancs lists and offer to do look ups for soldiers names from a Battalion book I have (my Great Grandfathers) on the 2/6th Liverpool Rifles (WW1). I decided that it might be a good idea to create a website (very basic one!) where I can post all of the soldiers names and some more information from the book for anyone to access. It's still very much a work in progress (I only started it today!) but I have stored the A surnames and the B surnames so far.

Margaret: According to my own family tree, I was related to a John Horrocks who was born on January 12, 1777 in St. Peters, Bolton, Lancashire, England/Bolton, England and died on May 12, 1850 in Little Bolton, Lancashire, England. I really have no idea whether these records are completely accurate as I do not have copies of the either documents. I do, however, have a christening date of January 10, 1783 in Lostock, Deane, Lancashire, England and a burial date of May 12, 1850 in Chewmore, Lostock Deane, Lancs, England. I apologize for not having a middle name for John. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Margaret Horrocks" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, April 28, 2008 11:04 AM Subject: Re: [ENG-LAN-BOLTON] Old Wills > Many thanks for the replies to my question about John Ainsworth Horrocks > who > died 1841 and John Horrocks who died in Fishpool Workhouse, Farnworth on > 4th > December 1871.

Dear Listers, Your help is required. When I send out information about family history events, I've been sending a copy to each of the Lancashire lists that I admin or co-admin. When I send out notifications of LancashireBMD updates, I usually send them to the lists relevant to the BMDs that have recently been added. Many times I think this may be a waste of my time and RootsWeb archive space because I wind up sending out 10 or 11 copies of the same two messages every month. In order to help me determine if what I'm doing is useful, your assistance is needed. What I would like to know from you is twofold: 1) do you also belong to one of the 'main' (in my mind!) Lancashire lists, i.e., LancsGen, Eng-Liverpool, or Eng-Manchester; and 2) do you want to continue getting copies of the Lancashire BMD update and family history events messages on this particular list? Please send replies to me privately off list at [email protected] Thanks for your help! Best wishes, Lynne

Hi All The question I pose probably has an answer in the 'hidden' gossip of many families When married convicts were transported to Australia they were, with the approval of the Colonial authority, and the Church allowed to remarry [if they did not choose to seek permission for their families to join them] For the wives who for whatever reason remained in the UK [and there were many], what was their social standing/position Research to date suggests that many wives classed themselves as widows, but this act in itself did not in many cases allow for even a meagre type of subsistence Did they receive assistance from the Parish Chest, or did they find a suitable sponsor with whom to cohabitate? In some cases did they actually remarry? In one of the few cases that has come to my notice, the 'law' in the colony was overridden by the UK laws if there was any conflict of opinion All thoughts are of interest Robert From the Roaring Foerties
