Interested in contact with any descendants of the family.

There seem to be at least two or maybe three  Forrest families in Blackburn/Darwen As they all have similar names throughout the 3 trees that I have seen I suspect that they were all part of the same tree about 1700. Unfortunately I cannot get up to Preston often enough to find out. My GG was Margaret Jane Forrest, one of 7 children born to William Forrest( born 1800). There is another William Forrest born 1802 in Blackburn .

I've been working on my tree for 15+ years and recently come back to my FORRESTs after a long absence hoping that available online records have improved. 

So while this is a very old thread, I would like to add my name to those interested in the FORRESTs of Mellor, Blackburn, Samlesbury and Preston.
