	Just had a look. Sorry it is spelt Darwen with an E not an I. Registers were transferred from Blackburn Registration District to Darwen Registration District in 1937. Dianne xx

	Yes, I think you've worked it out Dianne. Google map comes up as "Blackburn with Darwen". Darwen is about 3 miles south of the centre of Blackburn. Steve.
