My great grandma was a Tallon (Rebecca) she married Thomas Forrest and had 7 children. They lived in Whittington (actually Old Town - they ran the PO and general store) ... I recognised the reference to Hutton Roof as well ...

Lancashire Lookup Requests / Ida Forrest, Bolton
« on: Tuesday 03 April 12 21:54 BST (UK)  »
Ida was the last of my great aunts and I've been to her funeral today. She married my late gran's brother William Forrest and I've found that on Lancs BDM - 1940, Bolton. Her maiden name was Partington and I believe she was born 1917 but I can't find her birth, nor her 2 daughters Pat and Linda - all should be in Bolton. William (Bill) died 1980. Thanks in anticipation!

Done some Googling - Casus-Belli.co.uk - Anglo-Boer War 1899-1902 - T Forrest 28503 listed as Private Imperial Yeomanry - does that sound promising enough to spend £5 for a view???

Had a look on Ancestry - but can't locate this in military listings - am I missing something?
I had no idea he was involved in Boer War - that's never been mentioned - I just assumed WW1 ...

I have a photo of my great-grandfather in uniform on a horse. I tried in the past to find information but nothing ... having seen "War Horse" recently it has re-newed my interest. Forum members have been SO helpful on other areas of my family so can anybody point me in the right direction please? Thank you!
Thomas Forrest born about 1868 Scotland, died 1926 Billericay, Essex
My nanna used to talk about the soldiers horses they looked after which I assumed was near Kirby Lonsdale, but after some research this might have been Newton with Scales, Lancashire (near Blackpool)!

Think that's cracked it!!!
Rosanna Farrell died 1930 aged 77 and is buried at ... St Peter's Belmont - same resting place as first husband Isaac ... just the age is slightly out as according to birth/baptism which was in 1851 she was 79 years old.
Can't find them on 1911 census at moment ... tomorrow night I'll check the other Farnworth/Farrells!!!
Goodnight and thank you!
