I was born in goose green in 1945. I went to St Pauls school. I find that Wiganworld is a great site some of the photographs take me back to my youth in the wigan area.

Looking for Cadmans from Orrell/Pemberton area,Ellen and Elizabeth Cadman appear in my previously pedigree Welsh "tree" Yesss!!Researching 1850-1901,it then reverts to pure Welsh again-boring!Diolwch yn fawr !

Excellent site for getting background info. Found Skelton Street (1891 census)and Wigan Road, Bryn (1911 Census. Looks as though the houses have been knocked down and either rebuilt or turned into a park respectively. Any one with further in drop me an email please as i am also looking for High Brooks (or Burke)cottages from the 1871 Census and i have hit a brick wall. Many thanks in advance Dean Sabin

Hi Cathy its me again just been talking to my daughter and when she see's his wife she will ask her. My daughter has the first book he wrote but it was a bit of a scribble (as she puts it) you can hardly read it and there is a picture of Jimmy in it. she reckons that he only had a few printed for friends. So I was mistaken sorry about that.
