Pauline, I am very sure your Lords were related to my Smiths and Smith Windsors. These families were also Cotton Manufacturers. I have not done a great deal of research on the Smiths--but they had mills in Bacup(possibly in other areas as well--and they were associated in business and related by blood to William Sutcliffe of Bacup. I have a photo circa 1870-79 labelled "Aunt Lord" taken by a photographer in Lytham. I have not found the Sutcliffe - Smith connection or theSmith-Lord connection. Have you? If you contact me off list, I will send you a jpeg of the photo. Maybe you can even supply a first name. Marion in Ottawa
