LANE family (Bradley/Brierley 1820's onwards)
Jeff Lane of Ormskirk Lancs writers:
I'm looking for any information regarding descendants of Lane family from Bradley (old Brierley area).
Samuel Lane wife Ann moved to Ash Street in 1820's. Samuel was a a named founder member of Coseley Providence Chapel in 1810. His children James, Sarah and Benjamin were all baptised at the chapel.
James who is my Gt Gt Grandfather went on to build a row of houses, the Globe public house and a Foundry in Lane Street Bradley. All of the male members of the family were Blacksmiths/Engineers. James and his son's Daniel and Joseph travelled to Belgium between 1830 - 1850 working on bridge building. It would appear from the 1841 census that other families from that area also travelled to Belgium. Has anyone any information regarding this.
Joseph's son also called Joseph moved to Bilston in about 1900.
