Does anyone know where I might find information on the history of Staining Hall Lancashire and the family that owned the place during the 1800s? I had ancestors living there circa 1881 and would like to find out as much about the place as I can and any pictures if possible.

Hall, Davis, Foley, Bailey, Ellis, Shillcock, Sommerville, Hay, Tait,
