Footnote :- Most of the details for William John Curness, his wife Mary and all of his large family were supplied by Mary and his son David. David also supplied most of the certificates which relate to his grandfather's family back to his great-grandfather. William John or Bill as he was known, came up to Bacup in Lancashire at the beginning of the war as an evacuee, to get away from the bombing in London. By the time the war ended, Bill was working at Ross Mill where he met Mary, so he stayed. Later he became a miner and was known as "Cockney Bill". His mother did not like Bacup and went back to live in London.
