I think Grace was his 2nd wife, was Grace Rothwell of Rothwells transport and a former Mayor of Accy, but she wasn't the one who gave the swimming lessons

Pretty sure the woman who taught at the old baths was a Mrs Broadley, Big D

Yes, it was Grace Broadley who taught me to swim...back in the dim and distant past.

Lancashire BMD says that Alexander Broadley married Marian McPherson in 1930. Marian died in 1967 age 66 in Accrington and Alexander Broadley married Grace Rothwell at St John's, Baxenden in 1967. People kept mentioning the Mrs Broadley who taught swimming and I wondered who she was, so many thanks. Now I know! I think Alexander's father was George Edward Broadley who married Margaret Clark.
