Hi , i currently live in 1 flock cottage,My Mother lived in this village for many years and spoke of the rushworth family living in this house and attending Hope Mansell school,apparently a very large ,poor family in a very small house.This house was extended in the 1950.s originally having a double pitched roof (and it's attending problems) this was ammended to a single pitch roof in the 1960's.It is now a 3 bedroom semi-detatched property,but at the time of your relatives occupation,must have been little more than 2 up 2 down.During renovation work it is clear that the front door was where it is now,and the stairs was immediately accessed when entering,there is a cellar under the house,but i do know this was excavated by a tenant called Charlie marshall in the 60's

Unfortunately my mother died 2 years ago so any more info is not available from that source,she is survived by 4 brothers and 2 sisters,but as the oldest is some 10 years younger than my mother may be of little help.

Best of luck with your enquiries,
John Harding

If you can access Ancestry (Public Member's Tree) - you will see the Rushworth family and 'Christine' decends from James RUSHWORTH's sister : Elizabeth (who married Daniel ROLFE).

I'll check Ancestry to see if there are any Gladys May GRIFFITHS listed.

The GRIFFITHS line we belong to are from Cirencester, Gloucestershire

Hi again
I just noticed that you are a griffiths and you will propably have noticed that gladys may was a griffiths, I believe she was born at belinog farm in glamorganshire I wondered if this does actually tie in with you.I believe that this part of my familly originated from kirkaldy in scotland and came down looking for employment.I had an old aunt that was a griffiths I only new her as aunty annie and she was a school teacher
in nantgarrow (forgive the spelling not sure) in south wales, she was my nans sister I think hope this is of interest. she has done a lot on the griffiths familly history, I
would be happy to send you a copy if its of interest. regards chris
