I have just seen this post, 3 years on! The Cleggs of Spout House Farm appear in my family tree, though my connection with them is via Elizabeth Ann READ (1838-78), who married Jonathan CLEGG in 1856. Her mother was Elizabeth ALLEN (m. James Read in 1837). HER parents were James and Ann Allen (nee WALKDEN). James was the innkeeper of the Bull Inn in Burnley until his retirement to Spout House Farm in the 1840s. At the 1851 census James is the farmer at Spout House, with his son James, and grand-daughter Elizabeth Ann Read. James was also a coach proprietor, and ran coaches from Burnley to Preston and Blackpool. He was married 3 times (though I can find no official record of his 3rd marriage, to a Rachel) and died in 1867 at the age of 79. James was my g'g'g'grandfather via his eldest daughter Sarah (m Henry RILEY). James apparently made many improvements to Spout House Farm, according to Richard Ainsworth ("History & Associations of Altham & Huncoat")and sounds to have been !
a very enterprising man.
