Hi Chris, Would there be any chance you could look on the 1861 Lancs for James Ashworth born about 1860 in Accrington. The only thing i know is that his father was also James. I don't have an address either.Any help appreciated. Thanks Tracey

Thank you ever so much, can I ask which census you found them in. Then I can work out birth years ect. Wouldnt Rachel Hardman be the mother in law ( fingers crossed). I have been ripping my hair out trying to track James and family down. Maggie

Hi is me again, Just checked Josephs birth cert and James is down as a cotton spinner. Mind you I suppose he could have changed jobs. Maggie
