Just to introduce myself, and say how interesting I've found the message board so far! I am researching the family of Richard Charles BIRCH b.1824 Chorlton and Hannah HEWICK b.1826 Salford. Also the family of Betsy RIDINGS b.1850, Worsley and James THORP b.1849 Furness Vale, Cheshire. James THORP owned a hardware shop at 117 Eccles New Road, Salford. Thanks, Hester _________________________________________________________________ Discover Bird's Eye View now with Multimap from Live Search http://clk.atdmt.com/UKM/go/111354026/direct/01/
