New Accrington
 
I'm a new member--greetings from across the Pond. I do family history research in and around Accrington. My grandmother, Mary Greenhalgh, was born on Barnes Street in 1880. Her family lived in and around that area: Lee Street, Abbey Street, Black Abbey Street, Hargraves Street, etc. One address I see on a recent certificate is Higher Fold, New Accrington--at least I think it may be an address. Can anyone tell me about this place?

I use a map website, <http://www.streetmap.co.uk> to find the streets through England. In addition, if there are any Accrington Greenhalgh family out there, please let me know. I am now trying to research current generation family.

You won't find Higher Fold on any maps printed since 1900. It was bounded by Paradise St, St James St, Holme St, Church St, Warner St, Cross St, Black Abbey St, to Church St.
Some of the streets were Water St, Sink St & Butchers Alley.

Greenhalgh's had a floor covering shop in Infant St for many years. Prior to that they had a pawn shop, not sure if that was in Infant St or not - only knew it from early '50s. Two daughters, Clemmie and Ada. Their mother was my Mother's aunt.
