Hi. I have Pollards from Briercliffe, Burnley areas in my tree. They orginated from Marsden if that is any help:
In Affectionate remembrance of William POLLARD of Lane Head Who departed this life December 23rd 1881 In the 72nd year of his age Also Mary the beloved wife of the above Who departed this life June 30th 1888 In the 78th year of her age Also Elizabeth POLLARD Who died December 4th 1876 Aged 40 years also Mary Ann daughter of the above Named William POLLARD Who died July 4th 1911 aged 72 years Also Henry The beloved husband of Mary Jane POLLARD Who died October 30th 1928 Aged 63 years
If anyone can assist I have found a possible birth for William but not sure: possible birth: Baptism: 10 Sep 1809 St Bartholomew, Colne, Lancashire, England William Pollard - Son of Robert Pollard & Mary Born: 29 May 1809 Abode: Bradley Occupation: Weaver Register: Baptisms 1790 - 1812, Page 265, Entry 22 Source: LDS Film 1471024

I found a Robert Pollard abt 1881 on the 1851 census residing Hartley Houses, Little Marsden born Filly Close, Lancashire. But yet again, not sure as the only William with him on there is a grandson age 5 months:
1851 Residing 89 Hartley Houses, Little Marsden: Robert Pollard (Wid) age abt 70 Steam Weaver born Filly Close, Lancashire James (son) unmarried age abt 32 Weaver born Marsden Sarah (daug) unmarried ahe abt 24 Weaver born Marsden Margaret (grandaughter) age abt 5 born Marsden William (grandson) age abt 5 months born Marsden.
at 92 Hartley Houses: Robert Pollard age abt 38 born Marsden Elizabeth (wife) age abt 37 born Briercliffe William Pollard age abt 5 born Marsden James Smith (son) age abt 6 born Burnley
Any help much appreciated.
Thanks. K
