ive been on the site for just 20 minutes i have found it very interesting

Lots o good stuff. lots o memories.

err, I meant RIGHT. Talk about having an international blonde moment!!!! How embarrassing!

Great site. My old street still looks the same apart from the building at the end of it; you can still see my front wall on the left (Buckingham Close). We left there in July '82 to move to South Australia and I can still remember that day - crying my eyes out in the taxi! Have never been back though, but doesn't mean that I won't. I moved to Sydney in '02 and spent 3 long years there before moving to Melbourne (best city in Aus). Will get back there one day.

the asking about a little street from northhampton the little cul-da-sac there were 2 one called lea street and i will find the other very soon for you my dad used to live round there the family name was kelly mick,billy,kathleen and rita sadley billy passed away.

I would like to make contact with people who remember me.I lived in Hindley,plyed drums in The Fingers & many other local pubs.did a lot of drinking in the Spinners on Castle hill.

Excellent site for anything WIGAN related be it for News or Views.

I was actually looking for a picture of St. Thomas Church where my Great grandfather James Barlow married his first wife (Alice Anglesea) on Jan 14th 1899 as well as a pic of Central Hall where he married his second wife (Drusilla Hall) on Jan 1st 1902 after his first wife died in childbirth. I was also looking for a number of streets and addresses that my ancestors have lived...including 47 Darlington Street, 9 Weston Street, 190 Woodhouse Lane, 21 & 15 Driving Lane,154 Great George Street, Clayton Houses and 16 & 2 Pool Street. I am still navigating my way around the site and hope to uncover some additional information to help me in my quest to trace my Wigan lineage!
