Lancashire / Re: Pubs in Widnes 1871 - Is it still There?
« on: Tuesday 28 February 17 20:05 GMT (UK)  »
Hi
The Crown Inn is still standing,however it has been altered.
If you google Birchfield Road,Widnes you will get a street view.

Regarding an old photo you might strike lucky on google images.

Hope this helps

Due to the shake up of the clergy in the Widnes area there is no one Vicar to a Church it is split with other Churches. If you follow the above link it will give you the parish magazine, there you will find the Vergers name and address write to him he has access to the possible information you want. I am not telling you how to suck lollipops but enclose a SAE, it worked for me.

Good evening Randers,

I visit Farnworth Church (St Lukes) about once a month, the problem with the churchyard is that it is very overgrown,it is one that does not come under the local council so any cutting back is done by volunteers and they cant keep up with it. Will see what I can find on my next visit.

There is a plaque of some sorts just outside the main entrance, I noticed it the last time I was visiting there, if it refers to the original workhouse I cannot say.

Good Evening Allen,

sorry for the delay in replying.

There was a Thomas Havard senior(Father), Thomas Havard junior(son)

The burial of the father and the Christening of the son took place very close together.
I thought the son had died at an early age until recently when I was told that he was put into an orphanage at one year old then when he was ten was sent out to Canada as one of the British Home Children
