I have been trying to retrace my family history. My mothers mother is a Ward, and somewhere along the way my grandfathers father had a castle in England somewhere and wanted to find out if it was true. My grandmothers first name was Rita Maire Ward, and her father was Eugene Ward and I guess he came from England and couldn't afford to go back to claim the castle.

I came to the site almost by accident, my ancestors (Cartman) lived in the area and I have been trying to find out more about their environment. The site is extremely well put together, easy to navigate around with a wealth of good information on it. I was particularly impressed with the censuses finding a relation I had never found before. The style of pages sweeping from the left works very well.

I left the site feeling that I was leaving an old friend which I will be returning to, it has been produced with a lot of time but also has the feeling that a lot of love has gone into it.

I am a direct descendant of Richard Hamer (5th generation), the builder of Summerseat house and in whose honor the Hamers Arms pub was named in the late 1840s.

This is a beautiful area of Lancashire and I hope to return some day to show it to my children.

Comments:

I was particularly interested in the Old Rowlands Churchyard as both my Grandparents are buried there. Mary McInnes in 1910 and Archibald in 1921. A Mrs. Mills was kind enough to give me the grave number (195) about 10 years ago, she was living at that time on Queens Place. Mrs. Mills was a delightful person and had been connected with Rowlands Church all her life as had her husband and family. Regrettably she died about 2 years ago. I do not know who will now hold the records. I will try to find out .

Researching:

My McInnes family lived firstly in Ramsbottom, then at the Half Mile House on Summerseat Lane. They moved to Manchester about 1908 and then retured to Summerseat about one year later. They then lived at various addresses, Thorn Street, Higher Summerseat, Kay St. My mother Ruth McInnes and some of her sisters, Helen, Ethel and Margaret attended Rowlands Methodist School, day school records can be seen at the Bury Archives. My youngest son now lives on Railway Street in Summerseat and has been trying to find out when the cottages were built. Before the Railway came it seemed to be named Higher Row but not too sure if this is correct.

I was very close to my grandmother and wanted to know what it may have been like for her as a child as I had a record of work papers from 1907 when she was 11 years old. Your pictures and information about the children in the cotton mills was very meaningful as grandmother spent her youth along with her mother Alice Holt (listed on my grandmothers birth records as a cotton weaver) in the mills.
