Re: Huncoat Hall - (Birtwistle)
checked a bit for you Beechy, looks like Sarah Ann Pilkington married Lawrence Dewhurst in 1880 at St James Church Kirk. They had moved to Huncoat Cottage by 1881 which is/was next to Huncoat Hall, Lawrence as a farm labourer. Lawrence was born in Padiham and Sarah born Dukinfield Cheshire, they still lived in the cottage in 1901 but had no children that I could find. Not much of a tale but that,s all I could come up with.
