I knew a Mavis Jones and her dad was Tom but they lived at the top of Whelley by New Springs are these a different family ?

no cathy they lived in worsley mesnes all thier life.

Hello Mavis. I remember your mum and dad from many moons ago. I bought a brace of pheasant from your dad in the Bold Hotel one Sunday afternoon. Never had pheasant since, but I can't say that I'm missing it.
I can't remember the other couple. I know a few Bartons from Poolstock. They may be related, but not sure. One of them lived near your dad in Marus Ave.
My mother-in-law (103 years old in July) remembers your dad selling fish along with Teddy Atherton.
I love these old photos, especially when I know the people and the locations.

I was born in Thompson street Worsley Mesnes i had relatives in Holt street and Mason street only a small place in the fifties, Ieft in 1953 aged six after the death of my father when i was aged four.I remember celebrating the the Queens jubilee in the Bold hotel 1953.

Hello Jimmy, glad you like the photo,give my regards to Marjory,i,me sure she remembers me,
and also her mother Mrs Hankey, 103 yrs old , fantastic !!

Looking through the comments on the people on this photo I noticed Jim mentioning Teddy Athertons fishmongers. do you know any more about him? He was my grandfather (Thomas) brother. Seeing his name mentioned was pleasant.I am doing family search and have little to go on.The family lived in Poolstock.
