Places   (Help with places, streets and buildings in Wigan.)

The lack of or changing of the names of properties causes confusion I think.
A map of ?1870's shows Orrell Mount named (now pub/restaurant). Adjacent is what is The Nunnery but not named as such.At the site of Holly House (now Trinity Trees) and Orrell Lodge (WishFM) are two adjacent properties. The residence on the HH site is called Orrell Mount Cottage, Orrell Lodge site called Orrell Cottage (home in 1841 & 1851 to Robert Daglish and family).
Elizabeth Harrison was the housekeeper to the Daglish family and later census returns (1881) show Ann Daglish (widow)as Robert Daglish Snr. had died) plus R. S. Daglish, son and servants.
Possibly Orrell Mount Cottage was redesigned/renamed Holly House when the Bywaters took up residence. Rather complicated isn't it!
Gravestones at St. John's RC church, Standishgate record deaths of a Mrs. Mc Carthy at Orrell Mount in 1828,Mary Taffe who died at Orrell Mount 1828, and a Lelia Needham who died at Orrell Mount Cottage in 1833.Don't know whether that helps much really!
