I HAVE in my possession a Bible given to Robert William Crossley in 1895 for attendance at St Matthew's Young Men's Bible Class in Blackburn. There is also an obituary stating that Bob Crossley died on October 30, 1904.
My own father, Robert William (Bob) Haydock, who came south during the Thirties to find work, was the only son of Maggie Haydock (nM-Ne Crossley). I believe that R W Crossley must be my great grandfather.
May I ask if, through the kindness of your readers, anyone has researched this family and has any relevant information, they would contact me?
