I recently received this e-mail from our member Adel Earnshaw from Blackpool

Hi John, When my Dad and I first joined this site, naturally enough, we wondered whether we could claim you as a 'cousin' :o)..... I've done a little more digging and found that a branch of the family DID move to Shawclough.........all the way from Whitworth :o) I don't suppose you can remember any details about your grandparents, do you ? I know that you mentioned John being a 'hand-me-down' name and that would fit in, but anything else you could tell me may help us connect, and then I can tell you more about where we all came from :o) I'm still enjoying the site very much and must congratulate you on your dedication and hard work. Best regards, Adele 

Well Thanks for your comments about the site  as for my grand parents .I do know my grandad had a brother called SAMUEL and my grandmas maiden name was either MITCHELL or Ingham which is more likely as I had an uncle Frank who was the Mayor of WHITWORTH in the late 1950s early 60s  I will delve abit myself next time I see my dad and get some photos off him

I haven't found any of our'n in the Fylde.....yet. But there again, I haven't managed to track each and every family member down through the years.

adele   | Registered | 2007-10-28 19:49:28 OK John. I'll send throught the branch that is definitely the 'Shawforth' branch. The chart I've drawn up is made on Microsoft Word so will be virus free. What address would be best to use to send an attachment to you ?
