Family History Beginners Board / Local History of Blackburn Lancashire
« on: Tuesday 06 April 21 09:15 BST (UK) »
Hi everyone,
I am looking for assistance. I am one of the year 6 teachers at St Silas primary school in Blackburn and we are wanting to complete a topic on the history of Blackburn. To make it relevant to the children, I would like to focus on a number of houses in the vicinity of the school and identify the families that lived there, the number of people in the house and employment.
Being honest, I am far from a Historian and all the research that I have done just takes me in the direction of subscription sites that the school cannot afford.
I would greatly appreciate any assistance and I am sure that the children will really enjoy the topic if they can identify the street and buildings that we are researching.
Many thanks.
