Karen Hilton Beaumont:
Trouble is, it is out of the way and drug users etc just continue without any fuss. Surprised a builder has not been drawn to the empty properties though. Who own them by the way?

I AM researching my family tree and I am wondering if anyone can help me with information on my relatives: Clarence Butterworth (born 24 Nov 1894) and his wife
Beatrice Butterworth (b. 28 Mar 1902) nee Whitworth.
They were both born in Rochdale, and during the War, they lived on 170 Wardle Road with Clarence being the Deputy Chief Warden (A.R.F).
Clarence was the youngest of four siblings (Lilian, Harold and Florence) and was the son of Jesse & Elizabeth Butterworth (nee Oldfield).
Any assistance in finding anyone who knew them or knew of them
would be greatly appreciated.
