However, my Gt Gran Ann McGrail married in 1898 to Patrick Mulrenal who died at 28 years of age. Ann then married a toy boy William Flannigan in 1904. Ann was 30 years old and William was 22 years old . Ann died of T.B. at 9, Brittania Street , Great Harwood. She was 33 years old. This was not her regular address. Her death was registered by Mary Durkin of. 9, Brittania Street. Mary or possibly her sister Ann had lived with the Mcgrails in Rawtenstall for many years. The family arrived from Ireland in 1880 with Mary and or Ann Durkin. A sibling of Ann's was John McGrail married to a Margaret who did live in Gt harwood.. These two people may of been the reason I find other family members living there . I know that Ann and Mary were mill workers. Ann Mcgrail had two children Patrick and Ann Mulrenal. Patrick married a Florence Barrett and Ann married Richard Anderton. all from ! Great Harwood but have not sorted them all out well at the moment. If you can shed any light I would just love it . Many thanks for getting in touch. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
