Thanks for that, we have a number of reasons to visit Accrington library again but we have found such visits to be full day jobs and I wish I had done this research while I lived in Accrington.

There were a few emigrants in the family but our most direct descendant is William Hodgkinson.1840 who emigrated 15th May 1883 to Boston, Suffolk, Massachusetts on the S S Missouri.

I have also seen a reference to 'A Brief History of the Globe Works', in a link from wiki to the HBC website but the link is a dead end. I have contacted HBC to see if that article is still available.
