  • Newsagents Query...

    Hi everyone

    My G G Grandfather Thomas Edward Johnson appeared as a Newsagents in 1891, at 369 Bolton Road, Darwen, Blackburn, Lancs.

    Specifically it was a stationers and 36 years later in 1926; he appeared on my G Grandfathers marriage cert still as a newsagent in the same house. His son also was a newsagent as well; and tbh ive been struggling to find webpages on sumthing to do with this shop or road or the johnsons and when they moved; ive looked for the address and find that its not a stationer newsagent shop anymore.

    I just wondered whether anyone could help me or maybe give me advice in what i should do. Id love to know a bit more about the shop, what it looked like, any news clippings....sumthin! :o

    Any ideas or help wud be much appreciated.:D
