Where is it? It's listed as a birth place on the IGI, but I can't find it on any old map or new map! Supposed to be in Lancashire. Anyone any ideas?

Oh good luck then! I'm not even brave enough to LOOK at my Irish side. They're in a drawer and are staying there! Lou

Doesn't look like it. I think she's a Ware.
