Place called Forber or Ferber Completed
« on: Tuesday 19 February 13 13:14 GMT (UK) »
Hello,

I am trying to locate a place which is named as either Ferber in the Forest of Pendle or Forber within Whitley Booth. Does anybody know where this could have been?

There's a Firber House marked on the current OS map

Yes, that`s the one.  My husbands ancestors lived there at one time.
