My Mum's Memories of Galgate
My mother's name was Alice Margaret Ellen Davis who was born 6 January 1915. Her mother died when my mum was just three years old on Christmas Day 1918. She was buried in the churchyard in Galgate. Her father went to work in Preston and her older brother was sent to work on a farm, while my mother was brought up by a couple who lived in the village of Galgate in a lovely cottage called "Woodbine Cottage". Their names were Josh and Mary (I don't know their suranames) but they were brother and sister. They wanted to adopt my mother but her father wouldn't allow it. She told me she was so very happy living in the village, the lovely long garden full of tomatoes and flowers and all the railway embankments full of primroses and daisies. The next move in her life was an unhappy one as her father re-married and the lady he married already had a child. She was... Read more
Cowell Family, Scorton, Lancashire
Hello I have relatives who lived in Scorton, from c1895 upto at least 1927. Moses Cowell had a barn their and a family. They lived at Scorton Hall. Moses had a brother called Aaron Cowell, and he lived at Foxhouses Farm, Foxhouses Lane (off long lane) Scorton. I wonder if anyone can remember anything of the Cowell family Thanks, John Melling
Scorton Village
Mine isn't so much a memory, but I've been delving into my Family History, and found that my G.G. Grandfather, William Dickinson, lived at 5, Scorton Village. He worked in the cotton mill as an overlooker. Please does anybody have any info on whether this property is still there? Also any info on the mill?
Bernard Cummins - Salford Evacuee
Hello, my grandad and his sister Kathleen were both evacuees from Salford during the war and I am trying to gather information on him and his sister - also the people that he stayed with and where he stayed during the war. My grandad lived at Stonehead Farm a couple of miles outside the village. He stayed with the Cooksons family and was 9 1/2 years of age at the time. His sister Kathleen stayed at number 19. I would be extremely grateful and happy if anyone was to know anything. He wrote a small book for the family and has mentioned some names - Granny Cookson around 84 years, Granny Ciss 64 years , grandad 66 years, Aunt Alice 45 years (passed away around 1988). My grandad attended the old school at Scorton (he was RC) and said that one of his teachers was Miss Bennison. I also lived in the village around 98-00 , and my grandad was living at number 19 or 20, we... Read more
Farm Holiday
My family met the Alderson family from Scorton when they came to Bingley Hall in Birmingham to a cattle show. They could not find accomodation and my parents put them up; they returned the hospitality hence we stayed at Scorton Road Farm. It was wonderful, I rode a pony for the first time, helped Chris and his wife rear turkeys never dreaming that one day I would marry a turkey farmer. We went to shows with their Clydesdale horses. I played with Lorena, John and David they were a lovely family. I also remember Archie the herdsman. We remained friends for many years and Scorton is a place I will never forget.
