Re: Brick, Red Brick Barn, Hapton

In the center of this map between Huncoat and Hapton from about 1840 is "Brick Barn".Could this be your "Red Brick Barn".Names do get changed over time.

Re: Brick, Red Brick Barn, Hapton

Huncoat area was once under Burnley then changed to be under Accrington.This might account for changes in birth place.Some of my ancestors fell under that change.
