China , Persia, India,Holland, Swiss, Poland & Russia Streets were built on land owned by Frederick Steiner, who exported cotton textiles to these countiries from his Church factory which could be seen from China St. He was showing off - deservedly so. The houses mostly were built about 1880 but the streets were planned long before then.

Many of the streets from Church along Blackburn Road towards Accrington bear names associated with Steiner, including Frederick and Steiner Streets.

Have a look at census returns from 1861 onwards

Brindle is a village about 20miles west of Accrington. Near Chorley & Blackburn

I suggest that, to find brindkles, you join the Lancashire family History Society, if only for one year. That will get your name and the names of your ancestors

in the quarterly magazine, and you can ally yourself to the Hyndburn ( Accrington branch). It may well be that there are some folk already interested in Brindles.

I will put money on the likelihood that Atarah will post summat very soon. She might recommend that you also post on 'Where are they now' ( see the forum)

Welcome to our cousins in foreign parts.
