Ken, Chris sent me this message off list - I can't answer him but I thought you may be able to? Linda Linda, Thank you for your reply. Since sending my message, I looked up Bacup on Multimap and found a place called Rockcliffe less than 1 km south east of the centre of Bacup, so I'm hoping that this is it. You say that "the registration district for Bacup is Hyndburn and > Rossendale". Presumably that is what it is now? But, do you know what it was in 1840? Are you a local?
