family tree
 

Looking for family history details around the Church Kirk area , circa 1940 onwards. William Webster " Bill"....had a brother called Arnold and sister Brenda.......he was in the army and died at Chester military hospital circa 1954 / 5 ?......Arnold was married to Edie, and Brenda stayed with her mother , looking after her until her mothers death. what happened to Brenda ? Bill married Lily Broadley circa 1937 and moved to the Blackburn area circa 1943. Think there was some connection with the Kirkby ? family, local undertakers in Church ?

Cannot locate records for William’s death c1954

Kirby the udertakers had a place in Alitroyds in Church, they then joined with hughes and became Kirby and Hughes. I am not sure when and who had what but there was one of their places at 355 Blackburn Road and also a place over the rd (Blackburn Road) between the minners and Hynburn Inn.
I think "Kirby" I only know of him by that name died in the late eighties whilst having a routine back opperation. his wife was still alive and I hink they had children so might be able to track the Kirby family down for information.
