Fred Whitaker

Fred ( born 1885 ) was the son of Joseph Whitaker ( born 1857 ) of Low Fold Farm, Stairs , Oxenhope, and Fred worked on the farm. Fred received a wound to his hand and was unable to carry out milking at the farm so when Joseph became blind the family had to give up the farm and it was sold. The farm of 21 acres had been farmed by Freds grandparents George and Ester (nee Hartley )
