Ormskirk and District Family History Society was founded in 1979, and we are a registered UK charity (no. 1004895), dedicated to encouraging people to research their family history in south-west Lancashire. We have monthly meetings in Ormskirk and our organisation includes members all over the world.
This video is inspired by the wonderful scenery and historic features to be found on a circular walk around Scarisbrick, which is said to be the largest parish in Lancashire. Besides being one of the sixteen ancient parishes and townships on the ODFHS map, it also has a link to our ever-expanding boat families project, as a stretch of the Leeds and Liverpool Canal cuts straight across it.
