I attended Moss Lane school. Lived at 119 Moss Lane on corner.
Attend from St Nathaniels infants to Moss Lane about 1963 to 1967. During last 2 years we were merged with Lower Ince.
Fathers name Ken, mothers name Eva,

I have poor memory of names but would love to hear from anyone.
I remember a Lomax family who owned the shop in Moss Lane, also a Toppings family also with shop.
Bye for now and hope someone responds.

Keith, Betty Green lived at Spring View opposite the Walmsley pub.
Bill, it was Ann Hilton who married Kenny Morris,Ruth was her sister.

Hiya Sandra long time no see,are you still in Moss Lane or have you moved out of the area. Yes your correct it was Ruth,you'll have to forgive me,time does dim the memory. I checks in every now and then to see if there's owt bin updated.Hope your keeping well,Cheerio.

Hiya Sandra,
Correction to my previous message, you're quite right it is Anne not Ruth. I don't know where I got Ruth from, although
you did say her sisters name is Ruth I can't say I recall her sister. But there you go that's a sign of getting older.
Anyhow, that's that cleared up thanks, Cheerio.

Who is Wigwann? If you lived at 68 Moss Lane you were only 4 houses from me, we lived at 76, the grocers. I cannot for the life of me remember you, I probably will if I know your real name.

Comment by: RG on 14th May 2012 at 22:38

Ann Stephenson. She gave her name either on here or on the St.Nathaniels section. Hope this helps.
