My great grandparents were Agnes Ann Walmsley and Harold Vincent Walmsley, they had a grocer's shop at 77 Whalley Road, Accrington at least into the 1920s, possibly longer.
Do any of these names ring any bells with anybody?

Hi Sharman I'm sorry to inform you that they are both deceased, and have been for many years now. I was brought up at no 8 Monarch Street, and my father lived there until he died in 2003. Miss Pollard (has I knew her) died when I was about 8 or 9 year old, (I'm now 61) and I think Mary Roberts died before her, because I can't remember her being there but seen to think my parents talked about her, hope this is of some help to you
