Thomas Ainscough 1846-1929 was my GG grandfather. The eldest son of at least 11 children. Born in Liverpool, living in Chorley at the age of 4. I know from census records that Thomas at the age of 14 was the son of a farmer living at Grimbeledstons Farm in Alston, Longridge, Lancs. He married Margaret Barnes 1839-1913 in 1866 aged 25 at which time his occupation was a Railway Porter in Alston. Margaret was aged 26yrs and listed as a Cotton Weaver of the village of Alston.
Thomas and Margaret had 6 children. Their eldest son, Henry 1868-1912 was my Great grandfather - see blog 10th December 2006.

Ive been to visit the grave of Thomas & Margaret but there is no headstone, so they are difficult to find. However, should you want to drop in yourself then these were the instructions I was given by the Cemetery:
"The grave is located at the entrance to the Cemetery, through the gates and take your 1st left but may not be too easy to find. We can produce a map of the area and show you the grave if you are visiting during our opening hours 10am - 3pm (we are usually here a little longer) our office is down the main drive, a brick built building on the right of the Cemetery."
