I am from Bury and my paternal grandmother was a Crossley....a pretty tightlipped bunch as I know very little history.
I did get something out of my 90-yr-old fatherwhen I was in England last week.
I will write about it when I sort out the info he gave me...everyone seems to have scattered in the early 1900s.

You may or may not know that Bolton is barely 5 miles from Bury.
