Hi Everyone,
I am the great great grandaughter from the Thompson family that lived in Oswaldtwistle and worked at the cotton mill around the 1880's. With the help of Ancestry.com, and finding you on the internet, I have been able to put pieces together and discover wonderful and sad things about my family when they lived there. Thanks so much to all of you who posted pictures and information about Sacred Heart Roman Catholic Church. My great grandfather married his first wife in this church, only to lose her to tuberculosis three years later. They probably had the funeral services there too. He immigrated to America shortly thereafter. Do any of you know where people that worshipped at this church were buried? I'm making a very long trip to Oswaldtwistle from Texas, USA soon and hope to visit some of the family's heritage sites - the mill, see the homes where they lived, and it would be nice to locate the cemetery and see their gravesites after so many years. Again, it's a pleasure to be able to talk with you and learn about Accrington and Oswaldtwistle from your posts. Thanks very much! With kind regards, Maggie Q
