DYKE NOOK, Whalley Road, Accrington

Hi Barnsie, where do you live exactly? Who is/was a Mr Barnes, related to the same family as you, calling himself, Mr Walton E Barnes and who lived at the house we know at Whinside, near the little Crown on Whalley Road. Apparently there is a very old photograph owned by this chappie showing the area known as Lower Dyke Nook showing a Barnes family. maybe this is where your ancestors lived? This family home belonged to Joseph Barnes, drysalter, cochineal and madder grinder, specialising in turkey red dyeing.


Are you aware of Kenyons, Bridges, Cunliffes being names on your family tree?
