Hoyles
I would like more info on the Hoyles of Haslingden, plus the Burns family from Accrington, and Baxendale. My great grandfather was a accomplished runner Samuel Brookes Hoyle, and also delivered mail in the locality especially Grane Road. Mr Burns was an accomplished tailor, from Ireland, but died suddenly, I'm interested if anyone knows the circumstances circa that era maybe around 1920; I have quite an extended family in the local area, that I'm interested historically.
I would also be interested in knowing about Randall's Bakery where my grandmother Kathleen Burns (nee Hoyle) worked before she married my grandfather.
And I believe Im related to the Rothwells...year unknown at moment....
any info greatfully recieved

RE: RE: Hoyles
My great grandmother was Mary Ann Hoyle (1845) daughter of Richard (1822) and Jane (1822) Hoyle. Mary Ann married William Henry Green and one of their children was named Richard Hoyle Green, my grandfather. My mother Mary married Stanley Mews and I was also given Richard as a middle name. I would be interested to know if Whitecroft Farm still stands and its location.

RE: RE: Hoyles
My Grandfather is Edward Hoyle, born 1930 and grew up in Crawshawbooth. He was part of a quite large family there - any relation?
