In Lancashire in the mid 1800, it was more common to be Non-conformist than to be RC or CofE. The first Mormon Temple in the world was at Preston in Lancashire. Most of my ancestors from Lancashire were Methodists or Quakers. The ones that came north from the midlands were C of E. Best wishes, Pauline from Lancashire

Hello, Pauline, You have a beautiful Mormon temple near Preston now, It was the site of over a thousand LDS baptisms in the 1800s, but many of them migrated to the US as soon as they could . Perhaps some of them helped to complete the first Mormon temple in the world, which was actually in Utah.
