  • Introducing Our Paternal Great Grandmother – Eliza Flack's Family
    Introducing our Paternal Great Grandmother – Eliza Flack’s Family Eliza Alice Flack (nee Parker) 1853-1900 By Ted (Edmund) Flack PhD., JP Picture of Market Street Burnley circa 1900 with acknowledgement to Lancashire Telegraph Copyright 2019 Edmund Flack The Parker – Flack Connection Our Paternal Great Grandmother, Eliza Alice Flack, nee Parker (1853-1900) It seems likely that we have heard so little about Eliza Flack, nee Parker, our great grandmother, wife of William Henry Douglas Flack, is because she died in 1900 at just 47 years of age,. Yet from the information available, she was no doubt a remarkable woman. The following family tree explains the Flack family relationship with the Parkers. 1 Eliza Alice Parker was born on 1 October 1853 in Burnley, Lancashire, the first-born child of Richard and Eliza Hartley. Our Great Great Grandmother, Eliza Flack, nee Parker lived at No.10 Hargreaves Street, Burnley in 1860 with her family. Her father was Richard Parker, listed in the 1860 Census as a Wholesale Grocer employing 7 people. The photograph shows the corner of Hargreaves Street Burnley where the Parker Grocery was located before being converted into solicitors’ offices in the 1920s. 2 1861 Census Richard Parker, Head of the Family, aged 27, Wholesale Green Grocer employing 4 men, born Yorkshire, Long Preston. Eliza Parker, Wife, aged 34, born Lancashire Burnley. Eliza Alice Parker, aged 7, born Lancashire, Accrington. Richard Hartley Parker, Son, aged 7 months, Lancashire, Burnley. Thomas Houghton, Boarder, aged 24, Assistant, Lancashire, Blackburn. Martha Ealey, Servant, Aged 25, General servant, Lancashire, Foulridge.

  • Kenneth Cameron
    KENNETH CAMERON Copyright © The British Academy 2002 – all rights reserved Kenneth Cameron 1922–2001 TO EVERYONE WHO KNEW HIM KEN CAMERON seemed quintessentially Lancashire, but the Scottish ancestry on his father’s side, which is evi- denced in the surname, was not very far distant, and the Scottish connec- tion is seen also in his Christian name and in those of his son, Iain Stewart. His great grandfather, Angus Cameron, was a Gaelic speaker from the Fort William area. He was a builder of dry stone walls, and he came south, ini- tially to Liverpool, to find work. His wife followed him with the children, and the next two generations of male Camerons became textile operatives in Lancashire. Ken’s grandfather, Donald Cameron, also had an intriguing sideline. He was an entertainer in the Harry Lauder style, and was very successful at this: a prized family possession is a watch-chain hung with medals for his performances in northern towns. His wife would not countenance his making a full-time career of this, as she disapproved of the life-style which she thought might have resulted. Ken’s boyhood was closely linked to his maternal grandparents who ran a provisions shop in Padiham, near Burnley. When this grandfather died Ken’s parents went to live there. Ken’s mother, who had had to give up her career as a primary-school teacher when she married, eventually ran the shop. This corner shop in Byron Street is still vividly remembered in Padiham and Burnley. Ken helped in the running of it, and contempor- aries remember him flying round on his bike making deliveries after school.

  • How People Were Punished in Days Gone By
    How people were punished in days gone by In “Peek into the Past” we have examined images of Burnley town centre, the districts and villages around Burnley and a number of its parks. Thinking about what direction I should go in future articles, I found myself, earlier today, in the company of Brierfield Probus where I gave their knowledgeable members a talk entitled “Lancashire’s Calderdale”. As you will know, the Lancashire Calder is the subject of my most recent book, but, when talking to members of Probus, it occurred to me that “Peek” need not only be about buildings, districts and parks. There are an almost limitless number of features of a smaller nature each of which has a story to tell. This thought came to me when my projector was showing an image of the village stocks at Holme in Cliviger. They were there for a purpose. In fact, at one time, every parish or township had to have its stocks, or equivalent. Burnley not only had its stocks but the medieval village also had a whipping post and a ducking stool as well. These, what we think of as quaint features of times past were, when in use, important parts of our punitive system. They constitute some of the means by which miscreants were punished and humiliated, the latter no longer a feature of the system itself. Whether the systems described today were successful or not is not the point. There may be another opportunity to assess that. Similarly, I am not going to say all that much about the individual crimes and misdemeanours for which the stocks, whipping post and ducking stool were thought to be correctives.

AA ETHODISM in East Lancashire covers a period of history of / y almost one hundred arid sixty years. The pioneers of Methodism were Darney and Grimshaw, but John Wesley himself appeared on the scene more than a century and a half ago. The frontispiece is a reproduction of a portrait of him as he was when he first visited East Lancashire. The portrait is the only one of the kind known to be in existence, and adorns one of the rooms of Dids- bury College, by the governor of which institution, the Rev. R. Green, kind permission to reproduce it has been granted. The important position which Methodism has taken in East Lancashire called, in the opinion of the author, for some permanent record of its origin and progress. Nearly twenty years ago he began to collect materials for such a book, never dreaming that he himself would have the responsibility of publishing it. The fathers of Method- ism have, however, passed away so rapidly that it was felt that, if the the opportunity were not seized, not only would the advantage of living memories be lost, but many of the records would be dispersed beyond recovery, and the compilation of a satisfactory record become impossible.
