Hi Debi I did try 1901 but came up blank . Was hoping some one in the area might know of this house eg what street it was on . Without that it is very difficult . Thanks for responding Kathy

Hi Kathryn Just a thought - have you tried an adress search on the 1901 census ? It may yield some leads. Hope you can re unite her. Much happiness Debi

I bought a lovely victorian photo album and most of the photos were taken by Moorhouse in Padiham . There are no names of the people but one clue is aunty Kaye and cat at Stockbridge House Padiham . Looks around 1890's . Would love to reunite some photos to living family members . I also have four photos of children at Crossbank Council School Padiham .Is this school still there ?? Any help / advise welcome Thanks Kathy in Scotland
