if anybody visits Slaidburn (Forest of Bowland) go into the church and you'll find photocopies of records in ringbinders on one of the pews - this is the record of Ann Robinson's burial - she was originally a Porter who married Thomas Robinson and they lived at Oxenhurst farm near Slaidburn - you can also visit the archives which are open a couple of times a week - I'm hoping to visit again some time so if you would like me to look for a record for you just let me know
