I came across you website whilst researching the Ainscough family tree and was suprised to find so much information. Richard Ainscough was my great uncle, my maternal grandmothers brother. I have the letter from Richards CO which was sent to his mother on his death along with his 'Accrington Penny and his WW1 medal. Although you say that he had 4 brothers and 4 sisters he did in fact have 6 sisters the others being Jane (my grandmother) born on 7th April 1903, died 5th April 1993 and Margaret (who was known as Peg).Not sure when Aunty Peg was born but she was 64 when she died in 1969 so probably 1905 or 06. Alice died in 1991 at the age of 92. Mary - who we always knew as Moll died in 1966 aged 77 so presume she was born in 1888. I have lots of photos which I will post on here along with death cards and some press cuttings.
Hello cousin, thankyou for this information - it all helps to complete the picture. If youd like to mail me directly - barbaraainscough@mac.com I will be able to add photos etc to the blog. Where are you based now and do you know of any other Ainscoughs from this family??
