Hi from Australia. I came across your website while trying to find old photos of Aspull to put on a card for my Dad, Francis Alan Adams, born in Aspull in 1940. Could not believe my eyes when looking through the photos and found the one titled Going to work featuring Betsy May Topping. She is my great grandmother. Her daughter Mary, my grandmother, married William Adams and had my dad. I would love to hear from the person who posted this photo as obviously they know the family well enough to be able to identify her and list her children in the caption. My dad, who also lives here in Tasmania Australia does not have the internet so I am relaying how wonderful your site is to him. My brother also here in Tasmania is researching the Topping and Atherton family lines, and was delighted when I forwarded the details of your site to him.
Heres hoping to here from anyone who can shed some light on the photo.

Minnie whoever you are you deserve a medal for putting this site together it is brilliant, I have been doing my family history (Balfour's) for over a year now and I wish I knew about your site back then. Anyone know any history on the Balfour's I would love to hear. Thanks

Hello Tina,
There are lots of resources to help you trace your family. The library is a good starting point as you can view all the census and military records for free.
Another site is LDS. Then there is Lancs BMD, all available on the net.
Good luck
Yvonne
