I do have Cronshaws on my tree, my sister was married to one but they came from Great Harwood I think. Keep in touch, Bryan.

Just read ths thread again.
There were three Desoer's joind the colours in WW1.
Edward Pte. 2216. R.F.A. awarded M.M. lived at 7 Westwood St,
George Desoer. Dvr. 2217. R.F.A. 9 Plantation Mill Square.
James Desoer. Dvr. W/4044. R.F.A. 0 Plantation Mill Square.
In some of the earlier posts Sue mentions Plantation Mill Cottage, that was by the old mill and was not in Plantation Mill Square.
