Finn Family, Nelson St
In the years around 1930 my grandma Dobson appears to have fallen out with her 'husband', Bob Rigby and been forced to give her son James Dobson over to a Mrs Finn on Nelson (?) St to be looked afater because Rigby would not provide for him. Young James was her son by a husband who had been killed in WW1. He later emigrated to Canada but did visit Accrington.
I would like to know more about James and ask what the Finn family know of this story.
