Anne Cavendish

In the year 1285 this family from Keighley in Yorkshire moved to Inskip then in the parish of St. Michaels Over Wyre Lancashire []www. Townships - Inskip with Sowerby[]today the postal address ends Preston PR4, LANCASHIRE. When they moved from Keighley they changed their name to Kighley. There are lots of official deeds to confirm that this is right but after more than 700 years some websites still refer to them as Keighley of Keighley in Yorkshire but manage to comfirm that most generations died in Inskip LANCASHIRE. So why did they always die in Inskip Lancashire. Because after 1285 they where BORN LIVED AND SO DIED THERE.*'Anne Keighley1
