Deb from Australia
 

HYA, I am really pleased to find this site. My Nana was from Accrington and all her family. I am researching family history and also trying to find possible family members. My nana went to Woodnook Primary School in about1910 and her grandfather she said was proprietor of Red Lion Pub in Green Haworth, Accrington. I would love to visit in the future and it looks a very interesting place. I am still not used to finding my way around so please forgive me if i have placed comments in wrong places??!! It is late at night here and am about to go to bed but got excited as rediscovered your towns site and am looking forward to looking around. Thank you. Hope all is well in your part of the world!

Re: Deb from Australia
 

Deborah, what were your familys surnames? Possible connection? If not I'm sure you'll find your family on here, good luck.

Re: Deb from Australia
 

Gordon, My family surnames are: Nana was called Jenny Haworth with father John George Haworth and mother Margaret Stones. Her father remarried an Edith Green after Margarets death. Nana married Worthy Daw at Haslingden who was master baker. They had bakery shop and lived above for years. My great grandfather was Broughton Haworth and married a Mary Lord.

I believe Edith Greens children before she married my great grandfather were Doris who married George Haynes, Marie who married Thomas Allen and children with my great grandfather were Broughton, Alice who married James Eddleston, Mary and Brenda who married Robert Davies. My nans two sisters who I know are both deceased were Florence and Gladys. Florence had married Arthur Waddington and Gladys m Gilbert Bracewell (and ? Sykes and someone else!!).

Thanks for your welcomes everyone!! WIll try not to stir too much!! Some of us have to go to work whilst the rest of you sleep so off i march now.

Welcome.

Re: Deb from Australia
 

Thanks Accybill, Yes they are my cousins. Unfortunately we are not that close but my brother is close to Dave which is great. I think we met up too late and adults all far apart and own lives to deal with. Anyway, thank you so much for information anyway. Are you Mr Ollerton the famous singer ? Sorry if overstepping the mark !! I really dont know much information at all really but i was close to my nana altho i know she quite a hard lady to many people .....My parents left Australia and went to live in NZ and so we didnt have much to do with any cousins or Aunts etc for myriads of reasons and came back to Aussie when alot older !! Sometimes just because people are blood family doesnt mean you when meet as adults you have much in common !!

Hello and welcome

Re: Deb from Australia
 

And Canucks too, eh;):alright:

Re: Deb from Australia
 

I don't know about that, Eric. We have our standards and have to draw the line somewhere!

Re: Deb from Australia
 

Mind you, those standards aren't really that high when all's said & done, I mean they let me on & I'm a Scouse git ! :D

Re: Deb from Australia
 

Sorry, Deborah, no connection, my uncle(Eric Barnes) and his family emigrated there in the late 50's and one of his daughters was called Deborah. Could have been you, stranger things happen. Keep checking this thread, it could be some time before you get the info you want but I'll be surprised if you don't.
Good Luck.
