Re: Joseph Bracewell/Susy Hartley/John Higgin

Going back to your original search for John & Joseph. There is a John son of John Bracewell baptised 25th October 1746, but not a Joseph. It looks as if 1746 was a bad year for the registers, in the book it states that some pages for 1746 are missing from the register. A baptism of Susannah Hart...

He was only 20 at that point Ian, and probably enjoying his new life. Made a change from cutting hair in Dudley Hill and having no prospects beyond that. I cant imagine what it must be like to not have a photographic record of the family Eilleen, I am lucky to have pictures going back to great grand...

Re: Today I shall be Mainly...

Out in the poly tunnel, still tidying up and starting to get a few seeds in. It was pleasantly warm in there yesterday. Also thinking about my dad who died 10 years ago. I spent the night at Mum's on Saturday and dug out the hundreds of wartime letters they wrote to one another. All we did was to so...

Re: C18th British Military Records - Help

Have you tried searching the 17th -18th Century newspapers available online through Lancashire Libraries? I just tried searching for "55th Regiment" and it produced over 300 results. All you need is your library card. click here

Re: ENERGY MATTERS

Excellent news Pluggy. How are the panels performing now the days are getting longer? We were surprised to find ours producing between 500 & 800watts in the mist and drizzle the other day. Enough to be exporting to the grid.

Good Luck Julie. Nolic, I have sent you a pm, as we went through an awful time when we adopted back in the '80s. Hoped things were better now, and that much more support was given to adopting parents, but perhaps things haven't changed that much. Oh dear, I'm mainly meant to down in Colne library, a...

Re: Geologist and society based in Barnoldswick

I think my bit of land is on Black Bowland Shale. Stanley put up a link on the old website to a geological survey from many years ago where it actually named the farm. The Lothersdale anticline passes very close too. We have a bit of topsoil then solid shale, which must be why the soil turns to mush...
