Re: Simpson
I don't know how to do it myself, but looking up census details is easy - Retlaw will probably fix you up with details from the 1841 and 1851 censuses.
The book 'Accrington Chronology & Men of Mark' has references to Simpsons who owned Foxhill Bank printworks & coalmines. This was a prominent Ossie family. |

Re: Simpson
if dyke nook is the little cul-de-sac up whalley rd on right, before hospital was a Simpson lived yon until 1959, then they moved to "Brentwood" in Essex, the son peter sat next to me junior school n we were great mates, used to visit that house regular, think the road they moved to in Brentwood was called "Doddinghurst Rd" its oer 50 yrs ago so lost all contact details.
