Downall Green is STILL in Ashton. Boundary changes in 1972, and after, are purely 'local authority' or 'council area' boundaries.
Ashton has never been in Wigan. Half of it is now in Wigan Council Area (borough), but not in Wigan.
The other half of Ashton is now in St.Helens.

As far as I know, Bill Ryder was from Haydock!
