front middle Abraham (ab for short)? front right Bill Catterall

Winnie, As far as I know Harry doesnt have a relation called Edward or Mary Ann,most of Harrys family came from Pemberton and Goose Green.

Jono , forgot to say the photo could have been taken around the 1960s

Anne,
Thank you for those names. I was asking as the chap in the middle looked very much like my grand father who lived in Goose Green, but it would appear not to be him. I always remember my grandmother talking about a friend she had called Mary Charnock, so I thought it may all be linked - probably not !!

Jono, What was the name of your grandfather. Did Mary live in Goose Green? I could always ask my other Uncle to see if he recognizes your grandfathers name.

Anne
He was known as Harry Rigby. He and my grandmother (Beattie) lived on Warrington Road, Goose Green, opposite to where Tyrer Avenue is. I don't know where Mary lived. I've got a memory for names and faces, and it's one my gran mentioned often.

spoken with uncle but sorry he didnt know your grandfathers name but have found out that the surname of the Ken was Baldwin the Abraham was Bradley first on left was Mickey Fellows and thother was Bill Heath

spoke with ken charnock (harry,s brother). names are
back,,micky fellows,harry charnock,edward whalley,ken baldwin,bill heath,edward baldwin. front abe bradley,frank catteral.

Jono my mothers name was mary she lived in beech hill

My gran lived in Bentinck st, maiden name was Sarah (Sally) Baldwin and i'm pretty sure she had a brother Edward. I'm wondering if this was him in the picture?

I remember a lot of the names of the men in this photo, Edward Whallry was married to my cousin Dorothy ( Bradshaw ) and l think she was related to the Charnocks.

Hi Anne, just browsing through old photo's of Goose Green, and noticed that this was sent by Anne (nee Baxter) and wondered if you are the same Anne (Baxter) who was in the same class as me at St. Paul's Primary School, other friends were - Janet Darbeyshire, Angela Lavin, Rita Scott: and others in our class were:- Jeremy Jones, Philip Derbyshire, Lynn Bailey, Helen & Louise Tabener (twins) Christine Robinson, Barbara Bibby, Denise Derbyshire, David Webster, among many others. We left primary school in 1971. If it is you Hi my ole marra how you doin (i understand if you don't remember me, it has been a long time)x

Hi Anne,
I wodered if you were the person who mentioned on the Ancestry website a few years ago that you were interested in the Charnock and Parkinson families of Wigan. That person also mentioned a connection with Henry Bowen and Daniel Robert Bowen of Morriston, Swansea. I am a descendent of the Bowen family and have amased a lot of information on the Bowen family. They are quite an interesting clan. I would love to know your connection with that family. Could someone put me in touch with Anne Bowen (Baxter)?

i knew harry charnock...................GILLIBRAND...

I have a tenuous connection to Daniel Robert Bowen. He married a relation of my mother,Annie Higson in Wigan. I think they had two boys,Leonard and Clifford.Annie had an interesting background.My mother's middle name was Bowen...apparently in honour of Daniel.I would be interested to find out more.

I remember you Denise....I was in your Lorraine's class at St.Pauls. Not seen either of you for years ....

Edward and Ken Baldwin on the top right are my grandads father and uncle (Danny Baldwin).

hi Laurence,sorry to take so long to get back to you but we had sad few years and and i have not been on the site for a few years but looking on to night i have seen what you said about the bowens i would love to get in touch Anne Bowen was baxter
