Colne library has some volumes created by Gladys Whittaker on the history of properties in the area. Not sure if yours will be in the area covered. Worth a look, or enquiry to the librarians. Gladys used deeds, manorial records, etc
Try Lancat, the Lancs Archives index. Also Discovery, the National Archives index.
Census from 1841 of course.
Worth a look in Bennett, Burnley and Marsden.
Parish registers, online, for Burnley, Colne, Newchurch, might bring up place name entries.
This all off the top of my head ! I could probably do some of these look-ups if you aren't sure.
