My grandfather Thomas Bramley was born in Accrington 1899 and died in 1989.

Re: John Bromilow
 

On the 1871 census, William Henry Bramley appears living in Bramley St., which is still there. He owned an iron foundry and employed 3 men. It is likely that he was known to Mr Jonathan Peel, who owned the land that the factory and street were built on.

Re: John Bromilow
 

There are 3 Bramleys in the Accrington phone book - see the British Telecom website. I was at St John's school in the 1940s with an Ann Bramley. I will try to find where she lived and if she is still alive. There are no Bramleys in the 1851 trade directory

I think it would be worthwhile joining, even for one year, the Lancashire Family History Society and attaching yourself to the Hyndburn branch. This will get you into the on-line forum - a brilliant group

Hi Lars,
I knew Uncle Tom and Auntie Edith - we must be distantly related...!!!
Auntie Edith was my Gt Gran's sister.
I remember my dad telling me that their son (Ron?) moved to Norway.

I haven't really got any info about the Bramley side but have done a bit of research on Edith (Carter's) side. I can let you a copy of the family tree I've made and there are some old photo's I can scan and send if you PM me your email address.

PS. My grandparents were Harry and Joan Leyland.

Hi Steve
I'm Rons (Ronald) son. so yes we are related. I've only met my grandparents once. It was during their golden wedding in Accrington. I remember the kids in the house we stayed in while we were there, named Ann and Mark.
The world is not big, hope we can keep in touch.
