Please don’t bother doing any research. The reason I wondered if Railway Terrace was part of Eagle St. is just curiosity, brought about by what I have already found out, as follows.

In 1845, Henry Duxbury married Susannah Stansfield of Pendleton, in Eccles Parish Church near Manchester. Their son John was born later that year at Chapel Street, Accrington, and was Baptised in the same year in St. James Church, Accrington; their abode was still Chapel Street.

In 1848, their son Robert was born at 3, Lords Buildings (Oldfield Road), Salford. In July the same year, Henry died of TB. His death cert. shows his address as Mount Pleasant, Salford.

By 1851 the remaining family seem to have split up. John was living in Accrington with the Dawsons (his mother re-married in 1832) at a place known as Back Warner Arms; his brother, Robert, appears to be living nearby with his “father” (probably Uncle) John, at Union Street. The whereabouts of Susannah is not known. .

In 1853 Robert was Baptised at St. James Church, Accrington. He was given the additional name “Henry”, possibly in honour of his dead father. His abode was shown as Railway Terrace (Accrington?) but as coming from Manchester.

By 1861, John, aged 15, seems to be living with his uncle Robert Crabtree, at Grange Street, Accrington. He married, seven years later and his residence is shown as Grange Street. Meanwhile, Robert Henry was still living with his “father” but now at 49 Eagle Street, Accrington.

In 1869 Robert Henry married whilst living at Eagle St. He then lived at various addresses in Accrington till his death in 1923. He was buried in the same grave as his brother who had died in 1894.

Thanks again,
Cyril.
