I am still looking for the Bradley family who lived in Yates Street (off Miry Lane)in the late 40's and 50's there was Doreen who was the eldest then Billy next was May (my friend) and the youngest i called Alffie but his name was Frank i would just like to know how they are doing and what paths their lives have taken i think of them all often.
my husband and i came back to Wigan for a visit last weekend and i was transported back over 50 years, all my times spent there as a child were very happy and i still feel a great connection with the town
so if any has any info on this family i would love to hear form you

great site, any one no of the caunce family, an can tell me if david as a sister elaine

OOPS !!

Sorry....for the mis-spelling of your lovely park. I spent happy days in my childhood there...At Easter we decorated hard boiled eggs & rolled them down a slope to a path, hoping the shell would crack & then we peeled & ate them....

This is a great site, I know of no other place that has such a wonderful website. It keeps people up to date with whats going on, I think I have seen it all now.....SAVE MENSES PARK ? It shouldn't need people having to save it. What is it with Wigan Council? Why don't they knock down & rip up anything that gives Wigan a sense of history & be done with it ?
Next time round VOTE with your feet Wiganer's & meanwhile join the SAVE MENSES PARK CAMPAIGN !!

lHi Jimmy & Cathy I've found out that Jimmy Conner last worked for Sankey & Monks Funeral directors in Leigh, may be some of the books were given to someone that worked there. Also Edna's son took the books that were left and gave them out to his family & friends, she has no idea were any of them live. And she won't give us her telephone number.So if you can give the said funeral directors a bell they may be able to help you
out. Please let me know.

I only logged on last night to try and find the Heinz apprentices photo.I was surprised just how much information that is on your web site, its just brilliant. Have you any photos from Shevington County Council School, I would love to see them

trying find out about a possible ancestor of mine late 1700s early 1800s who i understand was known as the 'Devil of Wigan'
great site guys - i am proud to be descended from wigan people
