Thank you Perkin. I am looking for 8 Greenfield Houses. My mother's family lived there for a short while before moving to Westhoughton. It is noted on her birth certificate as Greenfield Houses. I wonder why it was not Ince Green Lane? Why are they called Greenfield Houses?
The other addresses I have for family residences are Hardybutts and 87 and 88 Ince Green Lane and 2 and 13 Forge street amongst some of the common addresses. My grandfather worked at the forge and fell in the canal on his way home from work. Shortly after this event he moved to Westhoughton and died and was buried in Ince.
