An Arthur Hill lived on High Street , Oswaldtwistle , and worked at Howard and Bullough's .

The name Rowland Hill rings a bell . If I am right he was a nephew of the Arthur Hill I mentioned and could have been the son of the Rowland Hill on your list .
 
Hi JCB,
It sounds like my family. Arthur and Rowland were brothers and their Dad was Rowland Hill.
You mentioned Howard & Bulloughs , what is this ? I am doing all my research from Australia so I am not knowledgeable about Accrington etc.
 
I am going to post this in History of Accrington as well and hope for some contact made from there as well , Thanks for reading !

Please don't post the same thing in more that one thread. It is very confusing when people answer both.

Your other thread has been removed.
 
Hi JCB,
It sounds like my family. Arthur and Rowland were brothers and their Dad was Rowland Hill.

There was also a lady , I would say of Arthur's generation , referred to as Maggie Hill but sometimes as Maggie Sanderson . She was related to the Rowland Hill I mentioned . He wouldn't be the brother of Arthur , he was too young . It seems like there were three generations of Rowland Hills .

The lady called Maggie lived on or next to Wordsworth Road , Fern Gore , Accy .

John Alexander Pte. 29121. 2nd West Yorkshire Regt. No family information. Buried in St Sever Cemetery , Rouen. Google earth would show the cemetery.
There are no surviving military records for John, nor can I find a medal card for him. He is not shown in Soldiers Died in the Great war.
The only to find out where he died, is to contact the West Yorks Regimental Museum.
None of the other men you mention, of military age, living in Greater Accrington, are in my files.
Retlaw.

This is my Hill family. My granddad was Harold son of Rowland Hill and Elizabeth Alice Wilson.
 
Dear,
I was happily surprised when finding additional information on my Robinson family. I started my family tree many years ago, but stopped for a while.
I can't help you re: the Hill family, but you will be able to find some pictures on the Robinsons named in your message on my family tree. Please let me know if you are interested. I intend to update my family tree with the more complete information you provided in your message.
If on your side you have more information on Edwin Penny Robinson and his wife Margaret Harvey, as well as their ancestors I would really appreciate receiving them.
Many thanks and kind regards,
Kate Robinson
 
Kate I don't have any history on the Robinson family. I am happy to send you all my history on the Hill family if you would like to give me your email address.
Regards
Pat
