There is a book at Billinge library that gives family graves at St Aidans but unfortunately the library is shut.

Are you the T. Croston that used to own pigeons.

momac, no; that was possibly my uncle who lived down Sherwood Drive, Pemberton.

Tom Croston,this could possibly them,she would have been a widow on the 1841 with her son's? There were two houses at rainford cottage. My James and ann Wadsworth in one ,Sarah and boys in the other. Don't know what relation James would be to my James?.

Christine, yes Sarah would be a widow in the 1841 census. Due to the limited amount of information on the church records at that time - there were also a lot of James Winstanleys born in the late 1700s - it's difficult to accurately figure out the relationship between the two James. I would assume they were cousins but they may have been uncle and nephew. Good luck in your searches !

Tom, yes I know so many James, Sarah is not my family, mine are James and Ann,Wadsworth next door. I was looking for a friend who thinks there's a connection with my Winstanleys. but I think ill call it a day. ????. Thank you anyway.

Den. My Samuel alker, great uncle, married Jane ackers, lived at Holmes House Farm Winstanley ring any bells with you? She did have a brother Robert,parents John and Mary,farmer and Pemberton.
There's also a, Wadsworth connection.
