reading on another thread, i saw someone state that, their great great great grandparents grave was in sj james church

got me thinking, how far back is there trace of your ancestors in accrington, i dont mean your knowledge, or recorded in a book knowledge, i mean gravestones, pictures in the town hall, that sort of thing, something anyone can just "see" when walking round accrington

mine would be Sgt James Edward Partlin, his name is on the cenotaph in oak hill park, died of his wounds, flanders 1917, he was my great great grandfather, and his wife May Partlin was shipped over to spend time with him as he was dying, apparantley a common occurrence during "the great war"

so whats yours?
