Dear Rod,
Would you believe it that I have actually come onto the message board five years after you posted your enquiry? It was quite by accident after googling my own name. However I am the Derek Swallow with whom you are trying to contact. You were quite correct I did live in Dobcross for nearly thirty years and am the son of Eric Swallow and Susannah (Annie) Swallow nee Duerden. I have very little knowledge of my Great grandmother's side of the family, although I am aware of Eli Kenyon who apparently died before I was born. I was also aware of Hilda Kenyon and her daughter Elizabeth who were still around the mellor or Blackburn area.

Regards,
Derek.
