Barrow-In-Furness, Duke Street 1934
Ref: 86192
Apparently, there was housing built for ship-building families along Duke Street. These were heavily damaged by bombing raids in the Second World War we hear, and presumed demolished. I am wondering about any info on these dwellings. My paternal grandmother's ancestors lived in them in 1871 for sure, at 269 Duke Street, as noted in the census. They were the Siddaway family, sometimes spelled with one 'd'. bryan45777@gmail.com (I'm over in the States).

I have recently discovered that my grandfather Charles Alexander Parsons Hall was born illegitimately to Sarah Hall in Barrow in Furness c. 1885. Sarah's father George Hall was a clog maker employing two men at Anson Street in 1881. George was born in Stockport then worked in the Birmingham area before arriving in Barrow. My grandfather married in Salford and lived there the rest of his life. I would love to know where I could see any pictures of the area where the clog making business was or if anyone else has any information about it.

My grandfather was Manager of the District Bank, Barrow-In-Furness during the 1950's and 1960's.
Please can somebody confirm if there was only one branch, as I have no idea of the address.
