We are part of Chorley Stake too.

 You must know some of the people in Rawtenstall Ward who I knew  from there - The Keebles, the Simcocks, Jack and Alice Vernon. Was Geoff Buckley the Bishop when you were there?

 

It's fun finding someone else on here who is so close to home.

Hi Pushka,

We don't have a chapel here in Accrington. We're members of Blackburn Ward. I've actually managed to move wards several times without actually moving house.

I started out in Rawtenstall Ward as in those days the boundaries were drawn differently. Then they rearranged the Ward boundaries and us Accrington folks became part of Blackburn Ward. I was there when we used to meet in rented rooms and there when the chapel was built which was so exciting.

Then Blackburn Ward grew too big to fit the chapel so those of us who lived over this side (Accy, Clayton etc) were split off into a Ward of our own and we met in rented rooms again.

Then people started drifting away from the area - moving south, emmigrating, and a few years ago we were joined back onto Blackburn again because there was hardly anybody left in the chapel! It's nice to be back in a proper building again.

 I've also got 2 teenagers and cats, but only 2 cats.

Hello my friend! Looking at your book list...have you read anything from John Sanford? He's got a series of Prey books that sound like they'd be right up your alley. He's one of my favorite authors. :)
