Prominent People of Blackburn and District 1100

Description

Ray Smith, Chairman of the Blackburn Local History Society, has developed an extensive database of prominent people of Blackburn and district that covers the period 1100 - 1899. Information has been obtained from books, trade directories, deeds, conveyances, wills, ephemera and the world-wide-web. The database runs to over 1,300 pages and is presented century-by-century. For the early periods Ray included anyone who lived in Blackburn. However, as he progressed through the centuries he had to become more specific on who were included. The criteria for the 19th century has been Mayors, Aldermen, Councillors, JPs, industrialists, scholars, solicitors etc, etc. In addition he has included international sportsmen and women as well as actors and actresses of national merit.
