I received the following message through www.themouthpiece.com. Is there anyone who can help Kristen in her search?
"Hello, I wonder if you might be able to help me with some research. Whilst tracing my father's family I have found that my great-great grandfather was called James Bailey b.1876 in Barnoldswick, in 1900 he was manager of a cotton mill in the town. His father was William Bailey b.1851 and his uncles were John b.1846, James b.1849 and Thomas b.1852. His grandfather was Stephen Bailey b. 1815. I wonder if any of these might have played in the brass band, and whether any information or photographs may remain.
I know it is a bit of a long shot but we have no real knowledge of this side of the family.
I would be really grateful if you could spare the time to reply, many thanks, Kristen"
