I am looking for any information on my great-uncle Sam Lord who ran a small shop in Castleton Rochdale. He was also post master. (Date: 1930-50 or earlier) I corresponded with him and his wife Bessie (Elizabeth?) as a small child. I'm not sure his given name was even Sam. Is there any way I could find any information about him. He was sone of the children of James and Sellina (Jackson) Lord who lived on Toad Lane during WWI. Thanks Ron Lord
Hi Ron My great-uncle married a girl called Adeline Victoria LORD. In 1881 she and her mother, Anna and siblings, James W, Ben and Sybil, were living at 34 Clements St., Castleton. The father James was absent, (I don't know why) but he was there at Adeline's wedding in 1898. James snr. was a cotton manufacturer. I don't know if these are ancestors of the family you're looking for.
