Re: Cronshaw/Dean
Hi Ossie, Can't remember if I mentioned I had found out that the first club secretary for Accrington Stanley was a Cronshaw (Harry I believe - he's not my branch of Cronshaws sadly). He also played for them - pre 1900 I believe. There may be a photo of him on the AS website.
I'm still struggling with my elusive lot - the Deans - I swear they were on the run and didn't want to be found - it would have been nice to find our half brother who could still just be alive - bet if he is, the way things have been going, he will be senile! The Cronshaws are pretty much complete. By the way, I had contact with Councillor Cronshaw - I believe her line of Cronshaws is the one that contains Woof (correct spelling) Cronshaw - she is also researching her Cronshaws - they are the Burnley lot I think. I think your Cronshaws, if they are the leaning toward Manchester ones, are the brainy ones - couldn't they have shared just a few cells. There was a C of E Canon to St. Pauls, and Wing Commander etc. If you want a copy of what I have, let me know and I will PM it - cant scan as scanner kaput as usual! Is Barnsley near you - I have heard mutterings about Portsmouth and Barnsley beating Chelsea and WBA. My husband was in a state of shock when he heard (we had been overseas for a month).Best wishes. Sue
