Northwich Absent Voters Lists

[genna]

Hi MM

I will PM you the rest of the account shortly.

I don't have any connection to the Hughes family. I'm a volunteer researcher at Weaver Hall museum which was previously Northwich Union Workhouse. My interest lies with the workhouse and Alan Lowe's book contains several reference to it. I have the kindle edition so it's easy to search for names, places etc and just thought you'd be interested in the entries for James Hughes.

Regards Genna

ps Crumpsall hospital, like many others, was once a workhouse!

Hi Genna,

Many thanks for the PM with the info and, more to the point, for your time on this matter. You have been very helpful. One last thing, what are the full details of the book that you got the information from as it sounds interesting.

Best regards
MM

Hi MM

The book has sold out locally but can be bought

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Call-Arms-Alan-Lowe/dp/1496981103/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1477751204&sr=8-1&keywords=alan+lowe+a+call+to+arms

There may be further references in the local newspapers of the period about James Hughes but unfortunately neither the Northwich Guardian or Chronicle have been digitised though there are microfiche copies in Northwich library.
