Ron. Wasn't Eric McPherson a master at Thomas Linacre?. Knew him very well, as boys, we lived close to each other. He had a sister Olwyn. I haven't seen him for many, many years.

Yes he was He was an Engineering teacher. His brother Alan? who lives in Scotland was great friends with my late brother in law. A few years ago we were in Scotland on a lads fishing week and we met up with Alan in a pub near Loch Earn

Thank you for the confirmation Ron. I thought there were only Eric, and Olwyn. I cannot remember a brother Alan. Is he much younger than the mentioned two?.

Alan would be around 70. He came from Lower Ince.

Thank you Ron. He is younger than I am. I'll be eighty three next Sunday.

I played Rugby with Alan in the late 60's. His brother taught me.

Spoke to Dr Eric McPherson a couple of years ago. He was living in Sale and had written a book on Wigan's war memorials.
