I'm trying to trace information on my great grandparents~ Samuel Hilton & Sarah Ann Hilton (nee Gregory). Samuel was the Station Master at Bamber Bridge between 1891 and 1911 - possibly longer than that. On the 1911 census~ their youngest daughter~ Ada Frances was still living with them at 248 Station Road. I wonder if anyone knows when Samuel and Sarah died~ perhaps even where they were buried or what became of Ada. In view of his 'long service' as Station Master~ I wonder if his passing merited a note in the local newspaper? Any information greatly appreciated. Many thanks.

• I am descended from Samuel & Sarah's daughter Margaret "Maggie Ellen" Hilton, married Roger McNutt and moved to Canada. For more info contact me at gardengal2a34@yahoo.ca
  Have a photo of grave but don't know where it's located. I have Ada Frances marrying William H Smith in 1913 in Preston district. Looking forward to sharing more.

Was Jesse adopted by this family?**Any information greatly appreciated. **Thanks**Cheryl

JESSE WARBURTON/FOWLER was my great grandfather~ the 1861 census return states he was born in BRINSCALL 1830-32. Search for his baptism in many Parish registers going back to year 1821 in some covering this area has proved unsuccessful. He moved to South Wales and married in 1857~ his marriage certificate gives his father's name as Thomas Fowler~ farmer. I have no information about Jesse's family in Lancashire at all or what the link to Fowler is. Any clues about his parentage will be greatly appreciated.**Thanks Cheryl**
