Dear Kent, It's those sort of stories that make family history worthwhile!! As for your query on Blackburn Parish Church, you are correct. This is now the Cathedral. Witton is part of Blackburn these days, although for census purposes it was put with Darwen. CD Archive Books have a CD on the History etc. of Blackburn if you are interested. Also, I have an index to the 1851 census of Darwen and Witton (surname only with cross ref to address). There are no Ormerods listed. What is your connection with Todmorden? Regards Linda
