There were hundreds of Bradshaws in Wigan & the surroundings...as I have found when doing family history ! Wonder where this family fit in.

Young Billy Bradshaw say's: Mam auntie Veronica say's she likes us, that's nice Mam isn't it, your right Billy love, it's nice to be nice.
Alf are you with us or asleep as usual in that blinking armchair, now Audrey no need for swearing and sarcastic swipes, Audrey states: I'll have you know Alf Bradshaw I never swear i,am a lady.
He He Dad she's got you their, I never hear me Mam swear, Alf says you'll here me swear in a minute ya little cheeky monkey. And as for being lady Audrey I'll remind you Friday night when your playing bingo and someone shouts before you. Anyway our Veronica love we like you to, don't we Billy love, Mam I think she very nice Mam can she come for Christmas Dad, I lad why not, it's just another spud in pon.

It looks like the mother is holding a baby. I wonder if the baby's face was cut out of the photo to put in a locket. Just a thought...

Hahaha Billy- I would love to come - but for the last 49 years like your mam - I have had to cook the Christmas dinner. There's just no rest for the wicked- perhaps Boxing Day and I'll bring you some sweeties. ;0))
