Welcome to The Briercliffe Society Forum

Jack H, maybe able to help me with this one, before the men in white coats come to take me away

I traced two of the Children of yet another gt. uncle Eastwood to Brierfield and then the trail has gone cold.

Mary. E Eastwood married Willie Burows and he was born on JUnction St about 1900.
They lived at 17 Garden St until about 1963, no idea if there were children.

Her brother Rennie ( a single man) appeared after 1959, when he had lived with his parents in the Briercliffe Rd area all his life,his mother became ill, moved in with Mary E. and Rennie was at 25 Berkely St, Brierfield until 1985?
I think this hunt is probably going nowhere, but I seem to have said that before

Is this his birth?

Birth Oct-Nov-Dec 1907
EASTWOOD Rennie – Burnley, 8e, 165

Ahh! you are clearly in touch with the other side!!! Yes that's the man.There was a Herbert 1904 and Arthur 1906,prior to that, Fred b.1899 and killed Nov, 1918 ( yes he was a bit unlucky) Mary E b. 1895( she is the other one we have lost in Brierfield.

It's a relief to know I'm not the only one who can't find these two, and there is another brother!!!

I can't find out what happened to his lot either, but 5 out of seven is not bad. He was James Eastwood b. 1872, m. Annie and had only two children 1893 Florence and 1897 Fred ( who survived WW1 unlike his cousin Fred!)
He was born on Brennand St, 1901 is m. and living on Queen Victoria Rd, then Sharpe St from 1919-1930, then I have lost them. Tried to find a burial at Burnley Cemetry, no luck/
These three elder brothers spent their WHOLE lives living a few doors away from each other!! Now their decendants are doing the opposite.
