William had brothers possibly called John and Henry.
All I know is that william was known as shuffling billy! and was a weaver then a road sweeper and that he died in the early 60's.
If you know any of the people i have mentioned, please, please get in touch.
My family tree is quite pathetic at the moment!
thanks

Don't know any Brierlys from Rishton ... but I do remeber Basil Brierly from Clayton if that helps .... he and his wife ran a store on Barnes St, and Basil ran a junk yard on Lower Barnes St. and had an allotment just off Rishton Rd, up by Ringstonhalgh Farm. They were RC.
