Hilda White / S Harry Pimblott

Does anybody recognise these names please ?

Hilda White was born on 22/8/1936 and S Harry Pimblott around 1931 - 1933.

Any information regarding either of the above would be gratefully received

Many thanks for your help

Harry Pimblett used to play for St.Helens. I don't know who Hilda White played for though!

I THOUGHT HE WAS A FARMER FROM ASHTON.

Do you have any further information ie what the farm was called - is he still alive?

The only information I have at the moment is his name and the fact that he was a farmer and was around 29 years of age in 1961.

I think we may be related and I am having difficulty in finding out any info.

Many thanks for your help

Harry Pimblett did live on a farm in Ashton
At the end of Bryn Rd, the Golborne end

He died a few years ago -- quite a popular chap, was the milkman around Ashton for a while

Potters Farm Bryn Road Ashton in Makerfield, easy to find on Google Earth

His cousin Tommy Barton inherited the farm.

Cordyline, It was left to Tommy Barton, Harry's nephew.

Harry left the farm to his nephew whose son now lives there.

It's a long time since I was at Potters farm

Terry used to service my lorries and take them to Kirkby for testing, a chap called jack helped T in those days

Simonswood.

Mea culpa

Harry has a sister Dot Grimshaw who lives over the road from the farm.

Cordyline, Tha not Max with a mask on are you?

No, Max doesn't have a computer, not seen him for a while


I retired from lorries a long time ago

Harry Pimblett was a teacher at Wigan Grammar 1970s.

and 60's monsieur le chat

Harry Pimblet did have sisters, Alice, Hilda and Dorothy, im sure there is only Dorothy left, she still lives on Bryn Road, but higher up than the farm.

There was a Hilda White at Whelley School when I was, I left 1951, and going of her birthday she would be the same age as I.

..and 60's monsieur le chat

I thought he went way back UTT...must have done if he taught you.

Harry had a fourth sister who married Tommy Barton's dad but icant remember her name, Lived down Wood's Lane, Think it was Nellie

I use to go to that farm as a kid, my friend had a horse there , am I right in remembering there was a shooting accident or something related to it years ago, its only a vague memory, but its sprang to mind at the name of it.

bentlegs

You're right. Nellie was the eldest of the sisters.
Her dad, Harry senior,used to have a few hours sleep in the lounge in the daytime(working nightshift in the pit)and kept a shotgun by the side of his chair.
