Hello, i dont know if anybody would be interested in this but i have some blackburn street directories (also includes accrington, rishton, haslingden etc) from 1901 1912 1925 and 1930. They detail where people lived and what occupation they did.I can look up based on name or an actual address to find out who occupied it in that year? Could be useful to track where people lived perhaps?
Also includes business etc?

Any way if any of you think it could be of any use just let me know, id be glad to help, Kelly x

It would be an enormous help to me if you would look in your records for 3, Rosewood Avenue, Skew Bridge, Blackburn.

Many thanks in advance

could you check on a harry stant who had a house and smallholding on the corner of Accrington Road, Whalley, and was definitely during the 30' and 40's.
He had a daughter Joan and a son, whose name I can't remember. They are 'mislaid'. He was my godfasther.
