Hi all, Afraid I've been coasting along just reading posts and not contributing. My interests are in the ALLSUP family from Whittle-le-Woods and Preston during all of the 19thC. Some of the men in the family attended Rossell School so if anyone has any info about the school from those times I'd love to hear. The school has an internet site but is still creating its page which, of course, focuses on the present rather than the archives. "The Grange", a large farm in the Freckleton area, was also leased by the family for many years - it appears to be still operating as a farm - anyone know anything about it? Also interested in the PEARSON family from Preston in the early part of that century, gggrandma married into the EVANS family who owned a cotton mill at Chipping c.1840. Cheers and good hunting to all Cassie in cold, but fine and mild Sydney.
