I've just come across a couple of photographs relating to the Funerals of MRS. BARNES and MISS MORGAN in Oswaldtwistle dated 30 July 1910.
These ladies plus others were killed in the fire at WILLIAMS Store.

Can anyone tell me who MRS. BARNES was?? Where she lived, her husband's name??

With thanks,
