Lancashire Lookup Requests / Re: 1841/51 Look-Up pls - FAIRHURST in Haydock
« on: Thursday 24 November 11 20:13 GMT (UK)  »
Hi everyone

Did you know about a mining disaster which happened in Haydock?
I stumbled on this the other day just googling 'Fairhurst haydock'
www.old-merseytimes.co.uk/haydockexplosion1878.html

The list of dead include four or five Fairhursts, I'm interested to know who they were.
We know Barnabas Fairhurst married a Pimblett and in the disaster, a Thomas Pimblett was identified by his sister Mary Ann Fairhurst.

An avenue worth exploring

Jim

Hi
new user please bear with me

You have an ancestor named Jabus Fairhurst.
My Great granddad was Barnabas Jabus Fairhurst
Born in Haydock (his son maybe?)
In 1881 aged 31, lived in Albert Road Widnes
In 1901 aged 51, lived at 124 Warrington Road Widnes
A ley preacher of some sort I'm told
He married Ann Pimblett in 1869.
