Lancashire / Re: Seeking Confirmation of a Drowning 1754
« on: Friday 17 April 15 17:01 BST (UK)  »
Hi ,
Yeah there seems to be a bit of a dead end when it comes to Noah as the douglas chapel was demolished so there aren't many records for it..
He was my GGGGGG granddad...I think that's the right amount of G's anyway ha ha..
We are still in the Lancashire area not far from eccleston/wrightington area.. so have managed to get round a few church yards but still not found much that's relevant.. Will keep you informed if I find anything.
Cheers

james

Hi .
hope this helps, this was taken from the Lancashire records office. I am a bit stuck on finding any brothers /sisters and parents though.. I suspect from other records that his fathers name may have been james but cant confirm it for sure
