My Ancestor Came from Lancashire – 24 April
The boundary changes of 1974 affected Lancashire more than any other county in England and
Wales. The industrial areas of the south of the county became Merseyside and Greater
Manchester counties, the area around Warrington was transferred to Cheshire. In the north of
the county, the Furness and Cartmell peninsulas became part of the new county Cumbria.
These changes present family historians with problems in locating the records. This half day
course will address these problems as well as looking at some of the social history of the
birthplace of the industrial revolution.
With Peter Park from 10:30am-1pm £17.50 (£14.00 SoG members).
The course can be booked online or by calling 020 7553 3290
