Sounds to me like your husband well and truly has or could have, his roots in good ol' Accrington, or certainly in Accrington for a long long time. I feel its a fairly uncommon name to this area and so this article from an old newspaper, MAY just be your husbands family - ACCRINGTON OBSERVER AND TIMES April 25th 1925. The article was entitled "Accrington a Century ago" and it says - In the end house nearest to Bank Street, lived for many years the GUDGEONS. They were an aged couple. One of their daughters lived next door in a cottage at the corner of Bank Street. A son, Robert, was one of the old volunteers.
Would be nice if your husbands family descended from this family eh?
