Hi all, I am trying to trace my husbands family and have only got as far as his Grandfather . The info that I have is as follows: Harold Davies , Born 1906 possibly in Chorley. Died 5 Aug 1970 in Chorley. He was married twice, no idea who to the first time but his second wife was Rose Barnes of Chorley. He lived at Moor Road Chorley all of my husbands father's life, ( from at least 1942). I'm totally stuck ,so any help would be much appreciated. Wendy in a sunny Cornwall.

Why not try sending for Harold Davies wedding certificate to his second wife? This would give his fathers name and trade . It would be a start in locating him in the 1901 census, once you have this information.

Hi Sandra, I do not know the location of Scorton, but I do have information on SWINDLEHURSTs from Slaidburn who emigrated to Provo, Utah via Accrington. As part of the Mormon immigration they ended up in Beaver, Beaver County, Utah. Let me know if you are interested. Dorothy

Hi I am interested in anyone with the family name WILLS, also with the SWINDLEHURST name. Mainly around Scorton but they have been in other places too. Thankyou Sandra --------------------------------- Yahoo! Messenger - Communicate instantly..."Ping" your friends today! Download Messenger Now

Hi Pauline, I have looked at the 1841 Census and there are hardly any images on the pages for Longridge. I have looked on the 1851 Census for Longridge. I didn't find a Richard Greenwood, but there were two other Greenwood families, Thomas and Mary Greenwood and their children. Thomas was a Stone Mason. James Greenwood and Ellen and their children. James was a labourer in a Stone Quarry. Could these families be related to yours? If you contact me off the List, I will send you the details.

Although this might be the wrong list to inquire about a census listing for Longridge, I thought I'd give it a try! I tried looking at the 1841 census of the village of Longridge in Ribchester for Richard and Agnes Greenwood and their daughter Agnes (age 1 1/2) but find that the copy that I received from the Family History Library in Salt Lake is completely illegible for this part of the film. Richard was a stone mason and his daughter always listed Longridge as the place she was born at in future censuses. I'd like to find out how old her parents were and if she had siblings. Does anyone have access to a copy of that census that is legible? If so, could they look at it for me and let me know if that particular Greenwood family is there? Thanks very much.

I am trying to find more information on Robert MARTIN born in Preston in c1834. I have found reference to a Robert MARTIN's christening in 1834 in Walton-le-Dale but at the moment I am not sure if this is the same Robert. Robert went to Dunston, Durham where he married Jane. They had 8 children John (1857) Eleanor (1862) Mary (1864) Samuel (1867) Robert (1869) Christopher (1872) Elizabeth (1874) Jane (1877) Any help would be greatly appreciated. Regards Lee

Just a note to those of you who prefer your black and white images the old-fashioned way. Some years ago (1998) the Lancashire County Library published a "Guide to Lancashire Local Studies Collections (AGuide to the resources of the Lancashire County Library and Museum Service and the Lancashire Record Office)" I suppose there will have been slight changes here and there but I have no idea if a revision has been made available but I have found that my 213 page "Guide" has been very useful. I have no information as to the cost or availabilty, I got my copy by way of a gift whilst on a visit to England; Thank you Pat. llankyladd

Three cheers to Vern. I'm glad to know that the hours I sit here typing for Lancsbmd will not go to waste!!

After restoring my computer to one week earlier, I still could not access. I determined that a friend with the same ISP could access. I have a wireless router and use a laptop. So, I plugged the cable from the modem directly to my laptop, bypassing the router. Still nothing. After plugged the cable back into the router and VOILA!!! , up poped the site. Funny thing is all other sites were always accessible except this one. It must be magic! Vern in Ontario

Hi, Vern, Sorry to hear you still have problems. I have just used the site again with no problems. I also was able to access using the 'umbrella' site - http://www.ukbmd.org.uk/ that has a lot of links to similar sites.

Hi, Vern, You asked > Is anyone other than me having trouble accessing the Lancashire Free BMD site. I am presuming that you mean the site that has the LOCAL, not the national indexes. I have just accessed it successfully using the URL - http://www.lancashirebmd.org.uk/index.html Hope this helps Jim Lancaster (Bury, Lancs.) ----- Original Message ----- From: "Vern Prescott" <vprescott@sympatico.ca> To: <ENG-LANCS-PRESTON-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Saturday, May 08, 2004 4:14 PM Subject: Lancashire BMD site

Hi Vern Sorry to hear that you are having so many problems with the site. I can access it no problem from here in Ontario. Had a problem not long ago thanks to MSN upgrades and virus protection would not allow me to access some sites. Something changed! I am sure someone can help there I wish I could,but my husband is the pc expert in this house. Sally (Ontario)

This still is not working for me. Everything was fine up until a few days ago. I have heard from others that it is OK. As far as I know, nothing has changed on my computer. Is it possible that certain ISP's are having problems accessing. Are other Canadians accessing the site OK. Vern in Ontario

Is anyone other than me having trouble accessing the Lancashire Free BMD site. I have just been to the UK site and pulled up the Lancs page. The link isn't showing up there, just an empty picture (x) box. Vern in Ontario
