We had a picture very much like this and I have no idea what happened to it. I remember the name Cyril as well - so these must be my mother's cousins. This would be around the time my mother took us to Platt Bridge to visit Nelly. It's wonderful to see these photos. The faces are familiar as well.

What a blast from the past I knew Jack very well and Cyril his brother, also used to play with, Cyril's son Lyndon whenever he visited his grandmother Mrs Crompton. Such memorable times, haven't seen Lyndon in years, the last time I saw him was back in 1973 when bus driving at Downall Green. The last time I spoke to him was over the phone about ten years ago when he worked at the Manley Hotel in Ince Green Lane which was an out of hours doctors surgery.

Daniel, Edna was an only child. Fred was a cousin I believe. I think Fred is on the photo with the little girl on it.

I thought that initially but I looked at the 1921 census and found that Edna and Fred where on there labelled as siblings and I found their baptism info which stated the same, also Fred’s mother maiden name on the birth index Says pepper.
