Re: Southworths Tripe Stall established in Acc 1850
I can't believe I missed this thread!
I married a Southworth but it looks like our branch came from Chorely. John Southworth (b. 2/10/1884) came to live in Accrington and worked for the Co-Op as a painter and decorator after serving in WW1... perhaps he may have been a cousin or some sort of relative to come to Accrington from a well established family in Chorely?
He married Esther Haworth in Accrington in 1927 and died on valentines day in 1933. His sister Jane married a policeman, Joseph Halliday, and they lived on Lion Street in Church. From the 1911 Census Joseph Halliday was living at 72a Lion street with his Mother in law Elizabeth Jane Southworth nee Statham... He must have a been a patient man!!
If I link in anywhere with your Southworth's, Pompeylass, let me know!!!
