Hi there, I have the eldest gt. uncle James m. Annie and they had three children, Florence, Fred and James between 1907. This is the one I cannot trace or his children.
Next was Thomas m. Sarah, they had three children Fred ( killed in WW1) Mary E and Rennie between 1899 to 1905. No idea what happened to the children.
John Wilfred and his wife Caroline I have details of their deaths, they had 7 children, the survivors were Ben, Frank and Jack between 1907 and 1913. Ben's children are the one's I finally found in Blackpool area.
The family lived off Briercliffe rd, for most of their lives, the children could be anywhere.
Does this ring any bells?
It is possible it is another Eastwood. (sadly)...I really have no idea of the history of this side of the family.
My Grandmother was originally married to a 'Ridsdale'. My father Ronald Ridsdale was born in 1919. I'm not sure when his father died, but it has to be later than 1919. My Grandmother re-married, again I have no idea of the year, but lets say sometime between the 1920's and 1940's. She then became Florrie Eastwood. Again, this gent died before I was born in 1952. They lived in Murray Street, off Colne Road.
