Looking for info on my Great Grandmother's family. Ann O'Leary (b1846)/Elizabeth/Arthur/Richard. Ann married Richard Swales in Preston. I know the O'Learys were Fruit sellers/greengrocers, and had a shop in Preston. Richard Swales went on to have a watchmakers/jewellers shop in Fylde Road, Preston. I've found very little on the O'Leary family, but they do have a connection to the Waite/Wade family. Ann's parents were Richard O'Leary and Mary Waite(Wade). Any info would be much appreciated as I've hit a brick wall with this branch. Thanks
