Classification: Query
Surnames: Derbyshire/Sidgreaves
My great grandparents were Josiah & Margaret Ann (nee Turner) who lived in the Preston/Bamber Bridge area of Lancashire. They had 7 surviving children between 1866 and 1890: William, John (Jack), Alice, Matthew, Caroline, Margaret Ann & Peter. They were cotton workers but later in life Josiah was a beer seller and then a publican.
The story in the family is that they also adopted a daughter called Lilian who married a Sidgreaves and lived in Blackpool. Indeed, Peter's younger daughter Lilian (now deceased) is supposedly named after her and remembered visiting her with her father when she was a child.
Can anyone provide any information about Lilian please?
