William Pickup's widow, Nancy, married James Shaw in 1875 and she and her son, George, went to live with James in Liverpool. James Shaw was a Superintendent for the London and North Western Railway. James Shaw was based at Accrington railway station in the 1850s and 60s. He was an uncle to Samuel Crossley, station master at Accrington and later Bolton stations and also uncle to Richard S Crossley, editor and proprietor of the "Accrington Observer & Times" newspaper. I am just off to visit my own 91-year-old uncle who is a resident in Springhill House.
