Vivienne Hankin is also related to the Midgleys and Sagars of Sagar Fold. Viv's grandfather was Henry [Harry] Gordon Midgley [born at Sagar Fold, resided Accrington] and her great grandfather was Amos Midgley [journeyman]. Henry married Florence Townsend whose two brothers died at Gallipoli, one a drummer boy aged 15 years. Florence's father was a regimental recruiting officer for one of the Lancashire regiments. Sagar Fold Farm had a large dairy herd and many other animals. There is a window at the farm which commemorates a stay by Oliver Cromwell. Sagar Fold now a B & B [the barn is now a converted private residence] is overlooked by a large tree covered hill, Kemple End, which today appears well served by a microwave tower. Vivienne is searching for any gaps that can be filled in for this branch of the Midgley family in Lancashire.

Great Mitton/Mytton
Was owned by Whalley Abbey which, prior to the dissolution, controlled sheep farms in this district and West Yorkshire. The church dates from 1270. A manor Hall was built here in 1514
Of the Midgleys' of Blackburnshire, according to Tom Mitchell, many appear to have been named Thomas or Frederick
The Midgleys here intermarried with the Sagars and Rothwells3. The Sagars, who were Royalists3 may have links to Sir William Sagar [Segar] d. 1633, Norroy King of Arms [1597-1604] and Garter King of Arms [1607-33]. A Roll of arms is mentioned after Sir William, Segar's Roll. Sir William's great grand-child was Simon Segar 1656-1712. The Sagar family burial plots are at Mitton/Mytton just outside Clitheroe, whilst their main seat was at Sagar Fold. This residence was attacked by Parliamentarians during the Civil War3.

By general information I just mean I have a lot of names and numbers and very little context, so by chance perhaps someone with ancestors in common reading this might already have researched the family name and seen information such as what sort of industries they were working in pre-census records and different areas that they ended up in. I had also read something briefly about Sagars being Royalists and fighting against Cromwell. There are certainly a lot of Sagars still in the area.

Thank you

what about what has been found for you? and what do you mean by "general information"? "Thank you" would be nice

I have a lot of members of the Sagar family on my tree going back to 1500 so not necessarily looking for individuals, more if anybody had any general information about the family. They all seem to hail from this small area in Lancashire and I believe had links to weaving mills in the area, as well as going over to the USA.
