What & where was 'Bower House Fold' Blackburn, 1861
« on: Saturday 27 April 19 08:06 BST (UK) »
Hi there all,

My 2 x Great Grandfather Thomas Munro, born in Preston 1828 was a Cotton Weaver.
On the 1861 Census (at age 33yrs) he lived at 40 Bower House Fold in Blackburn.
I cannot find this address or information on this address anywhere and don't understand where this house/building was at all?

Was this building connected to a Cotton Mill? If yes, what would that Cotton Mill be called?

All and any information greatly appreciated!  :) :) :) Many thanks.

The 1861 Census has 41 Bar House Fold, not 40 Bower House Fold and the 41 is not an address it is the Schedule Number.
