Morning Michael, welcome to the site. The only Pickerings I have ever come across in Barlick are a Hilda Pickering and an Elsie Pickering (aged 47), weavers, in a LIST OF WORKERS AT BANCROFT SHED ON DECEMBER 5th 1941. See this LINK.
The ladies have different sources and will no doubt have more.

Hi Michael, you can search for free on ancestry.co.uk over this bank holiday weekend, that might be worth a look at the censuses.

[Michael Chappell]

Thank you for your responses , I’ll keep searching .

[Gloria]

What sort of information is it that you are looking for?

[Michael Chappell]

I would really love to see what they look like and to see what they did as jobs . I’ve put posts on every Barnoldswick & Blackburn Facebook page , I’ve contacted nearly every Pickering & Marsden going in those areas , my great grandmas mother was a Marsden before marrying into the Pickerings .

[Stanley]

Have you tried cold calling Pickerings in the phone book?

[Gloria]

I have Marsdens who originated from Stockport and moved to the Nelson and Colne areas.

[Michael Chappell]

Do you have a Mary Ellen Marsden ?

[Gloria]

Don’t think so, who were her parents?

[PanBiker]

There is a Raymond Pickering who lives on our street, no idea who his relations are though. He is a tad older than me so in his seventies I reckon.

[Michael Chappell]

I’ve tried Raymond already & drawn a blank

William Pickering
(1860–1940). I haven’t got a mother for Mary Ellen

Has any got Facebook & messenger where I can send the information that I have please ?
