Hi again
I have only just started researching my family history and am still not sure what I'm
doing!!! I feel certain however that Sarah my gtgran is the daughter of Michael and
Winifred Carroll. I have sent for the original marriage cert so that might provide more
info, should arrive in about 10 days. In 1891 Michael and Winifred were living at No. 1
Huttock End Lane with some Walshes and a Burke, next door at No. 3 was Sarah and Henry
Schofield and family. As I am already finding names and ages change all the time. Could
Margaret in 1861 become Sarah?
I am hoping to go to the main records office in Preston Lancs in October so may be able to
find out more.
The Bacup Times newspaper reports the death of Pte Thomas P Connolly son of Mrs Connolly
of 8 Queen Street and the late Mr Thomas Connolly. He died in N Russia from septic
poisoning following the amputation of an arm on Dec 11 1918. He was survived by his mother
2 sisters and 6 brothers 4 of whom were serving with the colours.(in the army). Also
reported was the death of Pte John Schofield (Sarah and Henrys son) who died of wounds
received in the battle of Mons in Sept 1914. I will be in touch again as I find out more
and will let you have info, unfortunately I am not very good on the computer.
oh Ive just remembered my father once mentioned that some American relatives did visit
grandad in the 1930s or 1940s I think, does this sound likely?
Margaret
