TullochArd Posted 4 November , 2020 Share Posted 4 November , 2020 Hello Tony Interesting video and many thanks for sharing. Well done to Blackburn Museum for preserving and displaying this important record. I'm working on several projects in Rawtenstall area, adjacent to Darwen, and one of them is a similar memorial from Ilex Mill in Rawtenstall. No such happy ending here as this memorial with 11 names is "whereabouts not known". Regards ian PM to follow on another Darwen related matter. Link to post Share on other sites
DomC Posted 11 November , 2020 Share Posted 11 November , 2020 Tony, are you still looking for information about George Cockshoot MM? He was my Grandpa's uncle, from Darwen. My Grandpa told me quite a lot about George, all passed down to him from his Mum and uncles. They lived on Harwood Street. Regards, Dominic Also, my Grandpa worked at Greenfield Mill for years, as did my Mum and Auntie, we all lived on Garden Village. Link to post Share on other sites
familyhistoryman Posted 12 November , 2020 Author Share Posted 12 November , 2020 Many thanks for your message. I would be interested in any information you might have in George. I am trying to develop a database of Darwen men and women who served in WW1. Interesting to note the Harwood Street address as I also lived on the same street Regards, Tony Link to post Share on other sites
