FlaxMoss House Haslingden

[jilldel]

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!

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
Saw your old messages when I was looking for information on Alresford orphanage 1861.Iam reserching the Feltons- willam was the name above your Rebecca. Did you ever find out any more info on this place? Williams mother was widdowed and visiting in Hampstead in 1861 she might have been a friend of Charlotte Collyer the nurse in charge as she became her lodger by 1871. I also found photo's of an orphanage in Old Alresford called Southdowns in 1924/1930.
Regards Jillian.

My great-great grandmother Elizabeth Hepple Peacock moved from West Burton in Yorkshire to be Seamstress to the Turner family at Flaxmoss. Our family history only refers to 6 daughters of Mr Turner and  reference to a peel of six bells at Musbury Church, each named after a daughter.

Elizabeth Hepple Peacocks grand daughter eventually married into the COWPE family in Helmshore

Hi,

 Wonder if anyone can help. I,m just looking at a Birth Certificate of a relative Abraham Haworth born 13 June 1886. the address is given as Flaxmoss House Haslingden. The family later moved to Glebe terrace in Burnley so doubt if they owned Flaxmoss. Anyone got information which might help

Hi Claret. Were Abraham's parents Edmund & Ann? 1891 census 7 Hudson St. in Burnley Reg. district.
Edmund Haworth 35, living on own means.

Marriage 1880 St Mary, Whalley;
Edmund Haworth, gentleman, Whalley
Ann Pilling,           spinster,    Goodshaw
Groom's father Hargreaves Haworth, farmer
Bride's  father John Pilling, boot & shoe maker

Was Edmund or Ann a relative of the family at Flax Moss? Ann may have been visiting when baby was born.

Why don't you post your enquiry on a new thread on the Lancashire board, then it might attract more attention . I think it's in danger of being overlooked here. I only noticed it because I'm new to Roots Chat and I've been browsing old threads on topics & places in which  I have an interest.

Hi Maiden Stone,

Many thanks for the reply

Yes his parents were Edmund Haworth and Ann Pilling. I understand that Ann was originally from Haslingden. But do not know of any connection with FlaxMoss House. Their three other sons were born at Burnley addresses so I was surprised when I saw this birth address as Haslingden

Can you direct to the Lancashire board you refer to as I,m new to this. I found this thread by googling FlaxMoss House.
