To 'Tonker'
No, you won't know me. I have never managed to visit the Wigan area. It's on my bucket list, will get there one day.
I also never met any of Grandma's family, just heard about them. I grew up in the other Rose county at Whitby, Yorkshire, but born in Kent!
My Grandma was Rhoda Winstanley, her father being James Winstanley (1894 - 1945) and mother, Mona (nee Hall).
James's parents were William Winstanley (b. 1862) and Elizabeth Darbyshire, both of Lamberhead Green.
James's parents: James Winstanley (b. 1826 Winstanley, christened in St Aiden, Billinge 1826), and Mary Peank (Penk).
Which led me back to James Winstanley (1787 - 1833, nailor) and Sarah Hitchen (1786 - 1857). They married in 1807 at All Saints, Wigan.
