I think there is (or was) a Westby Hall near Lytham, but I'm not sure exactly where - I think it may be on the road between Preston and Blackpool. |

Prior to the Poor Laws, the parish were a person was born were responsible for the destitute. This often led to people being made subject to Removal Orders to transport them back to their home parish. |

Help, I have googled both places and am confused, I live in oz and can't work out what is going on. Have a relative who on different census forms gives birth place as Alston, then Westby, then Westly, from the google maps it looks like Westby is no where near Alston and I can't get a map up of Westly. Can someone please put me straight regarding these places. |
