Welcome!

The idea behind creating this website is to use it as a place to gather, store and share research of my family history.

The title of the site is named after my Great Grandmother, Rose Ann Godwin, daughter of Charles Godwin (1820-1868) and Rose Ann Aldred (1826-1901).

Born in Colchester around 1860, she married my Great Grandfather, John Wallace at St James Church, Church Kirk, near Accrington, Lancashire in 1878.  She died in Oswaldtwistle aged 54 in 1914.

I am fortunate to have some friends and relatives who are assisting me on this journey. I have already received help with photos, stories, reminiscences, newspaper articles, interviews etc to make this site as interesting as possible.

However, if you have any information, photos, stories etc. that you feel would benefit the site then please do not hesitate to contact me.

My areas of interest are: Church, Oswaldtwistle, Accrington, and other    Lancashire areas.
