thanks for posting the history of the name gornall, I found it very interesting that things have not changed much over the years. I come from goosnargh and can verify what the doctor has said about the local twang but its not just place name that are abreviated but most words. My family have lived in this area since records began and tend not to travel to far my 6 brothers and sisters all live within 10 miles as do my seven uncles and i think there are about 3 cousins who have moved out of the area. you can imagine how many i have being good catholics.my grandad also had 7 brothers.someone told me we are mensioned in the first preston guild papers about 1500s as local in keepers about 2.5 miles from goosnargh called broughton there are 2 pubs still on this site now. all my brothers uncles and the coucins i know about all seem to have there own business either building, pub resturant, or food trade. Many thanks peter gornall
