From : ed_thomas@wxc.net.nz Subject : PRICE, families of Lancashire Date : 29th.. June, 2005 Hello Lancashire List, I'm looking for contact with a descendant / relative of a PRICE family in Middleton, during the 19th. century, and thereafter. I would be most grateful if some SKS could please tell me if there is any history of a Beattie ? Farm, and where in Middleton, Lancashire. was it located during the April, 1861 census when it was occupied by a Thomas PRICE, and his family. I would be most grateful for any help.. Ted.

Hello Ted, Beatties Farm wasn`t very far away from Langley Hall. There were a lot of farms in that area, and I think Beatties Farm was nearby Partingtons Farm and Two Studs. I have an undated map here, which shows a Batty Farm in the same area. I wonder whether this could be the same one? If you email Middleton Library - they could tell you whether they have a history of the farm, or whether they have any photos. middleton.library@rochdale.gov.uk Doreen in Middleton. -- No virus found in this outgoing message.
