I found yours in the Visitors section and replied therein. In any case, Sally Kenyon was dau. of Mary Kenyon as per Lancashire OPC b. 1804 and died 17 March 1845 40 yrs. Asthma of Heifers Bank also called Sarah. James Kenyon I believe was also son of Mary Kenyon and Sally's brother - never found...

Hi Dave, I have sent you a pm too. Confirmation of Sally Kenyon, ran out of space.....if you need further, let me know.

Hi Dave et al, Just checked my Barnes Tree and it seems Richard Walton Kenyon's father, James Kenyon was the son of MARY KENYON who married by Lincence Richard Crawshaw 25 April 1837 St. James Accrington.....The Witnesses were James Kenyon and Daniel Nuttall. James was born December 1826.....I...

I have just tried to purchase the Accrington MIs CD online at the LFHHS, only to be stopped at the delivery and postage page.......so I have emailed the Store Owner to see if a postage charge can be authorised to Australia. Hopefully I can get a copy of this valuable piece of FH........some...

Gosh Atarah, I think you've found them.......thank you so much. I've been searching for this grouping for weeks and certainly not in my collection from Cemsearch.....but as I said, I got it quite a few years ago and the Listings may have been updated......... Thank you so much, I had double...

Would anyone be able to do a lookup in the Accrington Cemetery Records CD for me. I have a transcribed List myself, purchased a few years ago on the surname Barnes only. I am trying to find the Burials of - THOMAS BARNES born abt. 1814 who died between 1881-1891 Occup. Grocer, wife SUSANNAH...

Thanks for the detail Retlaw.....much appreciated. Robyn

Could have been, but in any case, it is known that the occupants of Accrington House at various times in the 19th century were of the same Barnes family, so I expect Barnes St., was indeed named after that particular family. Certainly early on in 1828 it is known that Woolhurst Bank Farm was...

OR perhaps this: From Old Homesteads WOOLHURST BANK, "The old home of the Haworths was afterwards occupied by James Barnes (1767-1852) and family. The Barnes' afterwards removed to Daisy Hill in Manchester Rd. Jonathan Barnes, who also lived in Accrington House after the Peels left, was of...

I have in my possession a copy of the Accrington Jubilee Souvenir 1878 to 1928........within it shows two plans of the area 1849 and 1928. In the 1849 plan Barnes St. is not shown. It appears to have been perhaps a laneway leading off Abbey Street, opposite Blackburn Road/Street. So as it is...

If you know which branch I could start with, that would be very interesting. How far back was Barnes Street named is the question........ There were a few well known business and Church identities in and around Accrington William Barnes as above, being one.....he was born in 1816 in...

Thanks Bob, yes that's right.....William Barnes died 1864, son of Thomas and Jenny. I have so many and two sep. trees at present....Should merge them together, but have been needing to prove each branch as I go......a long process, but worth doing properly. Yes, Joseph of Dyke Nook died 1878...

Hi Bob, You have me wondering now......was it William Barnes d. 1866 that was the first buried in the Accrington Cemetery?? A lot were buried in Altham and Church too...... I can't just pick which one, perhaps you can help please? Cheers, Robyn

Hi Atarah, Thanks for this great information. I don't seem to have it, although yes, I think I have everyone in the photograph.... But just in case, Joseph & Ann Barnes (nee Singleton), children Joseph, Elizabeth, Ashworth, James, Jonathan and Ellen Ann. At the time Jonathan Barnes's wife...

Wow, I think my copy came originally from Walton.....via a UK cousin. Of course haven't got the original, but fascinating, thanks again Aratah. Walton died in 1999 in BC.........
