Just discovered your interest in the Myers family on accyweb. I take it you know there is a connection to my gt.gt grandfather John Broadley who I have an interest in.
Richard Myers from Clitheroe married John Broadley's eldest child Alice in 1850, sadly she died in 1867 and Richard later in the same year remarried a lady called Alice Haworth.
The 1851 Census shows Alice nee Broadley and Richard living in Accrington and records show that they had a son John Broadley Myers about 1854 and as you probably know he married a lady whose first names were Mary Ellen and they had 10 children. When John died in 1914 he left effects valued at £2,629 3s - not bad for those days.
Mention wa made on the Acci website of the two of his sons who died during WW1 and as it happens I am planning in September to visit their graveyards in Thiepval and Pozieres which are only 2 miles apart!
This is whilst we are on holiday in the nearby Seine maritime Region of Normandy.
