Hardshaw 1851
Hardshaw 1851
I am working on a profile of Hardshaw in 1851 which has arisen out of my research into my own family who lived in Moor Flats at this time and were coalminers...if anyone can help me I would be grateful....I am particularly interested in finding colliery records for that time and the location of a) schools and b) public houses...
Hi Brian
Guess what I did, looked for Hardshaw family in 1851 census

The 1st edition 6 inch to the mile maps were produced around this time 1847-1853 ish and they should give a reasonable picture of the area at the time. St Helens Library might be prepared to do a copy for you or Lancashire Record Office would.
The tithe map of the township of Windle (Hardshaw was within this township I believe) could also be helpful but for this you would probably need to visit Lancashire Record Office at Preston.
I have no idea about colliery records but I'm sure St Helens Library Local History would be able to able you and possibly suggest books etc.

The map of the area on http://www.old-maps.co.uk/ is dated 1850, this might help.
