Hi Kate,
My dad is a lightbown who lived in Blackburn, but my grandma had family in Accrington. I remember once being told that my great grandad had a toffee factory in Accrington.
I don't know why, but I suddenly decided to look it up tonight. I'll see what info. I can get from my dad. His name is Peter Benjamin Lightbown (I was Yvonne Lightbown). He has a brother called Don, but I can't remember my grandads name.
I'll get back to you....
Good Luck
Yvonne
