Hi David
Smithy Brow is a good one, we will find out one day.

However , Hay(Hey) Bridge I believe to be on the road between Abram and Golborne . My dad told me that Hey Brook runs near the canal at Dover Lock .This fits with the direction the guys doing the 1841/51 census, were going in.

Look on www.oldmaps.co.uk Grid Ref: 360971,400590

Hi Andrede -

Thanks for the map reference. I see it is given as 'Aye or Hey Bridge', and Eye Bridge is mentioned in the St Thomas's registers, so I'm presuming it's the same place?
