England / Lightowlers Link to Littleborough

Hi All
Hopefully the title got your attention.
Doing some web searches threw up this:
George Redmonds - "Migration and the linguistic development of surnames"
the snippit said it could be found in Family History 11 n. 77/78.
Apparently it traces the name Lihtolers from 13th Century Littleborough
and it's tranformation and spread into Yorkshire.
I have been trying in vain to source a copy.
Apparently Dr Redmonds is an expert on Yorkshire names (and Lancashire in this case).
The document sounds too good to be true - but here's hoping!
Let me know if you've already seen it - or can get a copy.
Regards
Paul Lightowlers
