  • Foreword This Chronicle Commenced Sunday, February
    ‘Festina Lente’ (Be Quick Without Impetuosity) Foreword This chronicle commenced Sunday, February 15th, 1998. The time is 7 PM in the evening. I, Norman John Bury, of 8 Saunders Street Westall, Clayton South, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia, have decided that it is now time to make a serious commitment to begin this challenging task, so that future generations can have access to records in some traceable form of the past movements and whereabouts of our ancestors, for the sake of our immediate families, and for all generations to come. This chronicle will be continually updated as often as practible and the latest is Wednesday, June 18th, 2003, with information gathered since the above starting point. My wife Beverley (nee Doutch), and our two sons Peter John Bury, and Mark David Bury, need first to be recorded, and their families also. Peter John Bury, wife Lynnette Anne Bury (nee Bannon), son Aron John, and daughter Naomi Anne. Mark David Bury, wife Danita Anne Bury (nee Ozinger), daughters Carly Anne, and Amber Lucy. Their timelines and genealogical information are enclosed as an appendix to this work. Since the passing of my own father (John (Jack) Bury, and his father before him, (my grandfather, John William Bury), the subsequent discovery and sorting of private documents has provided information previously unavailable to us, as most of the knowledge that is needed to weave to-gether those threads from the past has gone to rest with their passing. By contacting the Lancashire Family History and Heraldry Society, and the Lancashire Evening Telegraph, we have discovered my grandfather’s brother, Esau Bury, who was at first thought to be the older brother of five children.

    WHEN? Inter Faith Week 2017 will take place from Sunday 12 - Sunday 19 November. Inter Faith Week will usually begin on Remembrance Sunday, and run until the following Sunday. It is hoped that the additional Sunday will provide the opportunity for other weekend events to take place as well as those linked to Remembrance Sunday. WHAT? Inter Faith Week: Highlights the good work done by local faith, inter faith and faith-based groups and organisations Draws new people into inter faith learning and cooperation Enables greater interaction between people of different backgrounds Helps develop integrated and neighbourly communities Celebrates diversity and commonality Opens new possibilities for partnership WHY? Building good relationships and working partnerships between people of different faiths and beliefs is part of the year-round work of many people and organisations across the UK. Having a special Week provides a focal point, helping to open inter faith activity up to a wider audience so that more and more people are made aware of the importance of this vital work and are able to participate in it. THE THREE AIMS OF THE WEEK ARE: Strengthening good inter faith relations at all levels Increasing awareness of the different and distinct faith communities in the UK, in particular celebrating and building on the contribution which their members make to their neighbourhoods and to wider society Increasing understanding between people of religious and non-religious beliefs Date and Time Event Title Details Contact and Venue Saturday 11th November 2017 Saturday 11th Vegetarian Cooking and making Vegetarian Cooking and making friends St Matthew’s Avenham Mission, 117 Accregate Lane Nov 2017, friends (Preston) Preston, PR1 5QQ 18:00-21:00 Contact: andrewpratt1@btinternet.com Sunday 12th November 2017 Sunday 12th Nov Remembrance Day service United Service of Remembrance, Blackburn Blackburn Cathedral, Cathedral Close, Blackburn BB1 5AA 2017, 09:30 (Blackburn) Cathedral, 9.30am.

  • North Turton with Tockholes Ward Profile 2011 Census
    2011 Census - simple statistics for North Turton with Tockholes ward Figure 1 - North Turton with Tockholes ward Introduction This briefing provides a summary of the 2011 Census data for North Turton with Tockholes Ward, arranged under the headings ‘Who we are’, ‘How we live’ and ‘What we do’. The original version of these briefings was based on the simple Census tables available as at January 2013. Since then, much more detailed and complex Census data has been released, but this briefing still aims to keep things as simple as possible. The only use made of the newer tables has been to introduce new or improved age breakdowns where this is felt to be of benefit. Health data is now presented by age-group, so that the reader can make fair comparisons between places with different age profiles. The ‘What we do’ section is now able to focus on the 16-64 age-group, which is probably closer to most people’s idea of ‘working age’ than the original 16-74. 1 March v.2 Introduction 2014 North Turton with Tockholes ward Who we are Figure 2 - North Turton with Tockholes population Population size (2011 Census) by age and sex The previous Census in 2001 found that the Source: Tables PP05 and PP06 population of North Turton with Tockholes was approximately 4198. The latest results from the 2011 Census show that this number has risen to 4345. Age structure Figure 2 shows the 4345 population of North Turton with Tockholes broken down by age and sex. 21.4% of its population is aged 0-19, compared with 28.7% for Blackburn with Darwen as a whole.

A Local Packhorse Trail In the 16th-18th centuries, Darwen was at the crossroads of several packhorse trails that crisscrossed the region. These were narrow, steep and winding, being totally unsuitable for wheeled traffic. Much earlier, the Roman XX (20th) Legion had built a road from Manchester to Ribchester and onward to The Old Bridge at Cadshaw Hadrian’s Wall.
