Re: Lightbowns Toffees

Hi Kate
Have just read your posts on the Lightbowns.My father was Richard William Lightbown and worked for his uncle Billie at the toffee works in Accrington before starting up on his own on Hyndburn Rd ( Ribble Confectionry. Uncle Billie lived at High Lawns on Manchester Rd Acc.
His first wife died and he married again to a lady called Hilda l think they had twin boys and when Billie died I think they went to live in Zurich.
I remember Ernest Emile and Gertrude they lived in a house in Blackpool and we visited them frequently.I did not know my grandad James only that he was a tailor my grannie Elizabeth and he were divorced long before my brother and I were born.
The Geoffrey someone mentioned on one message would be my brother we both went to Peel Park School in the 50s.
Hope this is of interest to you I have news paper cuttings of the family that may interest you .
Gill
