hi,
what a superb photo!
I saw the cottages on Flickr and am hoping to go and see for myself in the next week or so

Don't fancy eating eels though!

Brill, Thnks and so quick!

Googling its postcode puts it right in the Flaxmoss area too which is just where I hoped for!!!

Thanks,

Lancashire / Where is Snig Hole?
« on: Sunday 26 February 12 10:08 GMT (UK)  »
Hi

I have a margaret Taylor b 1833 in Snig Hole, Haslingden. Other members of her family are also there.

I have tried to scour various maps that are of this area but have had no luck so far.

Thanks

Hi,
I know - go and buy that ticket now!! I'd be tempted to go and have a look through it especially if it was  in your family!  It's massive isn't it - what a shame ancestors can't just make a claim!!!

Best wishes,
Jill

Hi,

I've been looking again at my Flaxmoss ancestors so I thought you would all be interested to see that Flasmoss House is currently for sale - look at rightmove or just Google the name and it will come up - it mentions that it belonged to the Turner family so is probably the one!

Thanks everyone!  I am getting closer to the records, if they exist! 
The reason her son in law was called Ashworth too was because cousins married - this is proving to be quite a nightmare trying to find the correct family tree branches! There are so many Ashworths!!

Best wishes,
Jill

Lancashire / Phoenix Brewery
« on: Thursday 20 October 11 15:10 BST (UK)  »
Does anyone know where I might find the archives for the above brewery?  I am looking to trace any references to my ancestor, Margaret Ashworth who held the pub called The Bird'ith Hand, Birtle,in 1871 (Census). Her son-in-law, James Ashworth was also landlord there. His death cert in 1925 states his profession as retired liscensed victualler, 32 Top'oth'Woood, heywood. I have tried to find the pub on other census returns but their names do not show up. I think he may have returned there later in life. 
I have been to the pub (!) to ask about their records but they do not know where the archived records, if they exist, would be.  Even an old photo would be nice!

Thanks,
Jill

Hi

I was interested to read this thread about Flaxmoss house and thanks to link I have identified where Flaxmoss is!
I have just found a batch of christenings regarding my ancestors and James Ashworth 1818 lived in Flaxmoss.  Some of his siblings - Peggy 1825, Alice 1828, Richard 1830 and Ann 1833 list Holme as their address but I have not yet located this.  Does anyone know it?

William b 1823 is my direct ancestor and his parents are RICHARD & MARY.   

The Baptism records are listed as St James, Haslingden.

I am working pre-census here and there are so MANY Ashworths - it's hard to unpack them all!!

Thanks, Jill
