Names I have found so far in Haslingden are:
WHITTAKER
Henry Whittaker (carter) married Anne Riley at Haslingden 5 Nov 1787, children were
John, Mally, Abraham, and Betty. It is possible that this was Henry's second marriage marrying Anne Heap on 23 May 1778 at Haslingden with issue Peggy in 1781.
Any Abraham Whittakers are of interest to me and also Whittakers in the Sherfin area.

BARNES
I am stuck at John Barnes born abt 1805 in Haslingden (probably Cribden Side area), who married Jane Nuttall at Haslingden on 10 Apr 1825 - in 1864 it was estimated that there were over 800 people in Haslingden with the names Barnes!!!

NUTTALL & HARGREAVES
Andrew Nuttall married Alice Hargreaves at Haslingden 19 Dec 1789, it is believed that this was his second marriage the first being to Betty Crook on 27 April 1784, issue John and Anne. Issue from the second marriage being Betty, Thomas, Alice, Henry, Andrew, Hargreaves, Burgoine, Jane, Maria and William. Andrew Nuttall was born about 1756 place unknown. Any Andrew Nuttalls are of interest to me.

DUCKWORTH
Anne Duckworth married Abraham Whittaker on 5 Jul 1819 at Haslingden,she was born about 1793.
