Gambles/Hughes Family History
Seeking any info on my grandmother Nancy Gambles who I never met as she died before my birth. I know all about her untimely death but nothing about her life as she was never mentioned in the family. I have never even seen a photo of her. She was born in Wigan in May 1889 and died Sept 1933 when she was sadly found drowned in the canal near Martland Mill after some health problems. She married Fred Hughes in 1918 and had 2 children Irene and Ben.

This seems to happen a lot when people ask for help. You go to all that trouble to help and there's no response. Extremely rude of them!
