Hello Trev. I can't help you with what you're asking but someone over in Barlick will, I'm sure. And, welcome to OGFB. Enjoy.

Any locations for the above? It would narrow the field..... All the names crop up locally.

Stanley
Thanks for the reply.
In the 1911 Census Minnie is shown living at 34 Wellhouse Square Barnoldswick
In June 1902 Minnie was born at 7 Wellhouse Road Barnoldswick
In the 1901 Census James Eastwood is shown living with his new wife Margaret at 20, Fountain Street Barnoldswick
In the 1891 Census he is shown living at 3, John Street Barnoldswick
The 1881 Census James is living in Wapping Street Barnoldswick
Going back from then I only have Barnoldswick as place of residence.
Hope that helps.
Regards
Trevor

EASTWOOD INDEX ENTRIES AS OF 4/12/2011
The name Eastwood is common in Barlick. Apart from family names there is an Eastwood Farm above Eastwood bottoms and there used to be an accommodation bridge over the L&L canal called Eastwood Bridge (Now demolished). All these locations are, unsurprisingly, on the East side of Barlick. There is a lot of hard evidence that in the 14th and 15th centuries Barlick was the prime source of large timbers for construction in an area covering about 20 miles radius. In the Bolton Priory Compotus and other sources there are numerous references to the purchase of large baulks for heavy construction, their carriage and prices and even the name of a man, John le Tournier (John the Turner) who supplied timber and wagons to the Priory. Baulks from Barlick were used to repair mills at Colne and Clitheroe. We have no records of where the woods were, hence my interst in the place and family name of Eastwood. Here are the entries in my index:
Eastwood Bottoms.
The land running down from Long Ing to Crow Nest, low lying, has one surface drain and is the route of the underground Bowker Drain. In 1858 some land belonged to A B Royds, a Rochdale landowner but there is evidence that the Gledstone Estate had control of the majot part of the Eastwood Bottoms.
1835 onwards
Thomas Eastwood recorded as elector of Coates in 1835, 1841, 1848 and 1859.
1844

Electoral roll records Thomas Eastwood as elector of Coates.
1886
Textile Mercury report of 15/04/1886. John Eastwood, mill manager is reported as a subscriber to the new Long Ing Shed Company having one \u00a3500 share out of a total share capital of \u00a320,000. (Note that the full price of the share was not necessarily paid on entry but was subject to calls up to the value as construction proceeded.)
1887
Eastwood and Maudsley are reported as cotton manufacturers in Long Ing Shed. This will be John Eastwood. In 1891 they moved to Butts Mill. (In UDBk, PCRO 29 this move is noted in 1893) The engine start at Long Ing was reported in the cotton Factory Times of 03/06/1887. 1200 looms, first tenants were Nutter and Edmondson, Eastwood and Maudsley and Edmondson Ormerod.

This was a tied cottage associated with Butts mill, John Eastwood was secretary of the Butts Mill Company and so Greenwood was almost certainly a relation and in charge of the engine at Butts Mill.
