Retlaw Posted 14 October , 2016 Share Posted 14 October , 2016 Got my books back from the binders, wot with the special paper and printing , that lot comes out at near £200, took a ream of paper. Over 14000 men and women, plus over 2500 pictures of them, started this researching this back in 1990 with just 127 pages of names and now its three volumes. I'm right chuffed wit result.

KevinBattle Posted 15 October , 2016 Share Posted 15 October , 2016 Well done, at least all that research now exists in print. Out of curiosity, how does 14,000 men equate to the 1914 male population of Accrington? I see the relationship between your forum name and the hardest densest bricks..... nori...

Those 14000 and odd are from Greater Accrington as the area was known back then, its now known as Hyndburn, Accrington, Bethorn, Church, Clayton, Gt Harwood, Knuzden, Rishton, and Ossy. Over 5000 of the came from Accrington, some idiot newspaper once asked for a list of names, they intende to produce a map with pins in for each man or woman, I worked it out it ould need to be at least 4 ft square to be legible, and you wouldn't get that in a chip wrapper, told em where to go.
