Hello Jennifer, Your Grandfather and Grandmother were great friends of my Grandparents Jack and Margaret Cockrell. He was the Manager at Wigan Baths from the early Thirties thru to his retirement. Didn't he have something to do with the Sea Cadets in Wigan. I know my late Father (also Jack) was in the Cadets and also knew one of the three sons very well. but I can't remember which one it was.
hi Dave My Uncle Walter was one of the leading officer (or whatever you call them) in the Sea Cadets
Hello Jennie, I may have a photo of your Uncle with the Sea Cadets in full uniform. If I find it I will post it on this site.
Hi Jenny my grandmother florence murphy ( nee somers)was a somers before she was married . she was related to your family
My grandfather Thomas Harold Somers was Oliver's cousin and would have been the nephew of Florence. Oliver's father was William born 1864 (eldest son) and Florence was his youngest sister born 1888. Twelve children in all, no wonder there are so many descendents. I have traced back two more generations to Cambridgeshire anyone wanting a copy of tree feel free to contact me.
