Are you sure it was Newman St? They have buttonholes in as if at a wedding. Granddad's children married at St Georges Lilly in 1919 and Richard in 1921.
Pauline thinks the photo was taken in Newman St but not 100% certain. She would like to know your name and relationship with the Forshaws
My auntie anne was married to uncle George. My name is Ruth.
Just looked at LBMD on here and Eleanor (I think would be Pauline's grandmother) and another daughter of g.g Forshaw was also married in 1921.
RG - Eleanor was Paulin'e Grandma, Pauline's mum Marian Stokes's (nee Young)mother.
I went to whelley school 1845/49 with Frank Forshaw he lived in Newman St. he now lives in Leyland.
Al my brother-in-law Alan Stokes keeps in touch with Frank and Shirley. If you would like I could ask for his address.
