Richard Ernest Eckersley

                                                                                                                                                        Research by Marjorie Gregson 
   

Richard Ernest Eckersley was born in 1877 in Salford, Manchester.  In 1891 he was living with his parents, Benjamin and Annie,
in south Manchester.

By 1901, living with his widowed mother, his occupation was recorded as a bank clerk and in the 1911 census as a sub-manager. He
remained unmarried, residing with his mother and grandmother. The next reference to his address was in 1924, when it was given as
Haulgh Mount, Headroomgate, St Annes.

He died in 1944, aged 68, bequeathing eleven paintings to the Borough of Lytham St Annes and stipulating in his will that they were not to be sold or disposed of but retained by the Corporation.
