    Default information wanted about North Meols

    My husband is trying to research his family history on line from Portugal (and is driving me mad in the process,) and has discovered that on 25/6/1913 his grandfather, Joseph Haworth (also Howarth) was living at Glebe Lane, Banks, North Meols, Lancs. where his daughter Mary was born. He is described as a farm labourer.

    Can anyone tell me if the farm still exists and if by any remote chance it is still in the ownership of the same farming family?

    Many thanks in advance for any help.

    Jespa.

    You are quite correct Sue, it isn't Manchester new motto.

    You crazy mixed up Manchester research specialist! I'll let Jespa have her thread back now. I'm sure they're not as mixed up as us in North Meols.

    By way of apology to Jespa for hijacking her thread, here is a link to a Banks Village forum found when typing Glebe Lane and North Meols into Google
