Memories of 1921, Penny Bridge
Jackson Family - Spark Bridge
My great great great grandfather William Jackson was born at Spark Bridge, about 1829. My great great grandfather (William's son) Thomas Henry Jackson was born at Crossmore, Swarthmore, about 1858. I would love any information anyone might have about the Jackson family in this location, and indeed any more information about the locations themselves. For example, is Crossmore what is now called (accordning to my googlemaps search) 'Cross-a-moor'?

Hodgson/Braithwaite Family
I do not have a memory exactly but have found out that my Grandma Braithwaite was born in Spark Bridge and a lot of her family of Hodgsons also lived there. Her father James Braithwaite was a blacksmith and a lot of the family of Hodgsons worked in the Bobbin Mill that used to be there. I just wish I could work out where they lived. On the census forms it states Spark Bridge with no road. I just wonder if they were further up the hill just past the Royal Oak as they seem to be old houses? I just wonder if anyone out there could tell me?
