Hi everyone
 I am looking into the family of Henry Pollard 1808-1869 born Church Bank married Margaret Taylor.
From his obituary he was an undertaker and died at Silk Street Salford. My interest is from their son James Pollard born 1839. This is the family of my husband but I am the genealogist in the family. a

Any information would be greatly appreciated

kind regards

Thanks, Pennines. I have several Accy and Ossy soldiers. All returned. One with malaria.
I've since discovered that one didn't return. Killed at the end of the Battle of the Somme.

Anonemouse -- I am not sure I fully understand your query I'm afraid. What exactly are you wanting to know by 'family' -- siblings, parents?

I notice the marriage of Henry and Margaret is on Lancashire On Line Parish Clerk website.

www.lan-opc.org.uk

this took place at Great Harwood. There is also a baptism for a Henry Pollard;

Baptism: 3 Sep 1809 St Bartholomew, Great Harwood, Lancashire, England
Heny. Pollard - Son of Geo. Pollard & Jenny
    Born: 16 Dec 1807
    Abode: Harwd.
    Register: Baptisms 1803 - 1812, Page 18, Entry 2

Is this the type of thing you want to know? If so -- Lancashire On Line Parish Clerks is a free website for Lancashire Parish records.

I haven't heard of Church Bank -- maybe it's a location within Great Harwood - or within the parish of Church (which was sometimes known as Church Kirk). Both Church and Great Harwood are fairly near to each other.
