I have enjoyed looking at your site especially the old photos of Wigan some of which I can remember when visiting relatives in the Scholes during the 1950's.I am afraid I have no idea if any of my distant relatives are still living in Wigan,the main surname was Fillingham,I know of cousins of my mother who live in Newton Le Willows.Any Fillinghams still in Wigan,also looking for relatives of a William Bissell who was my Grandmothers (Lily Fillingham born Wigan 1891)first husband who was killed at Gallipoli in August 1915.

Brian! 2 questions.
Is it possible to have a genealogy forum like ST Helens connect? have you seen their site? http://www.sthelens-connect.net/
It's really good for the searching and local knowledge. We are better than St Helens anyway ;o)
And I'm on the ex-pat pages in Mozambique I've moved countries twice since, how can I change my profile? We are now in Sunny Dubai, 34 today lovely but it gets upto 50 in July/Aug so we will be back in Wigan then :o)

i'm a golborner now living in galway!!
is golborne real????someone once said that it was aplace in time that had no home to go to so it just existed in limbo untill it eventually collapsed into itself through lack of anyone really giving a s***.
although the golborne sports n social club rocks to a diffrent beat , bringing many succseses to golborne in an array of sports but no one really cares anymore they just want a cheap pint

Good interesting site however even with a top spec PC images take a long time to load up.

This is a really great site. I'm researching family history. Family names Rose, Walls (both originated in Aspull I think) Storey, Clayton, Bewley. Seeking additional information. I was born in Manley Street, Lower Ince. Went to St Mary's infants/junior school. Then Brittania Bridge when it was a girls secondary modern.

I was born in Wigan in 1949, at Cudworth Street, Pottery Terrace. My parents moved to Australia with me and my two brothers in 1952. I know that Cudworth Street no longer exists, as I visited Wigan in 2001. It would be nice to know if anyone knew the Hamilton's of Cudworth Street?
