I'm new to this but it was suggested that someone may be able to help. I am searching information on the past of a dear old 92 year old lady. She is a little confused on timing and names. She was born in Northants in 1917 and adopted soon after birth. She moved to Blackburn I think around 1938 living with relatives at 9 Dyson Street, Blackburn the Copping family. She worked in service locally and then moved to 10 Russia Street Accrington. She met a widower with 2 children an army Captain Gallagher based at Preston Barracks. They married early in the war an lived in Accrington address. They divorced some 8 to 10 years later. I would like to find any information and detail relating to Captain Gallagher and the addresses. Any background info would be helpful. This is to help progress on building a family tree.

Ring Fulwood Museum at Preston they may still have records of those stationed there.
