Kelly. Yes the house on Ince Green Lane is still standing, it's next to the now empty Manley Hotel. That part of Cambridge Street is no longer there.

I am researching my family from Wigan... my g-grandmother Annie Jukes lived with her family at 232 Ince Green Lane in 1881 ---- wondering if the house is still there. Also had family from my g-grandfathers side that lived at 56 Cambridge St .... if that building still exists as well.

Apologies to Elizabeth for the way your post about the airman has gone. I do hope the moderators will remove the disrespectful posts that have nothing to do with this young man. I know this was a very delicate part of your life, Elizabeth, and I'm so sorry the way your post has gone. Best wishes Joseph.

Great site....a nice reminder and connection to home!

Josephine Morris-Turner, according to the Ince Directory of 1925/6 on this site on the "stuff" section there was a Morris Thomas F., police constable living at 25 Hemfield Road. Hope this is of some help.

What a good site to stumble on - there's nothing like local knowledge from people who have lived in a place for a long time, even for generations.

I found my late father's birth family last year, they were from Ruabon, N Wales. Mining was an occupation for most of the men in the large family and I have a record of one great-uncle living in Hemfield Road, Higher Ince in October 1926.

I have seen pictures of Hemfield House on this website, and followed a short conversation about it and the general history of Hemfield Road in this forum too. Looking at the satellite images and reading on this site about someone whose SatNav took him down Hemfield but it was like a tank trap, I gather that the houses have now been demolished. There doesn't appear to be anything there on the satellite images.

I do not know which of my great-uncles lived in Hemfield, it could have been John, Thomas or Norman Morris. The reproduction of the record on Ancestry is fuzzy but it looks as if he lived at No 26. If anyone can assist me in finding out which of my ancestors lived there, whether or not there may even have been a wife and children, I would be soooooo grateful.

My late father was adopted and raised in the rabbit warren of streets in industrial Pendleton, Salford, but although I have never lived in your area of the country, there is no question that part of my soul is drawn to it. It must be a DNA thing! And there is nothing as pleasing as seeing the interest, love and pride people have in their towns and villages, no matter where they are. Congratulations, this comes across loud and clear in your site. Thank you again. I do hope someone can assist me.

Looking through here for my grandma and Grandad named above, grandma lived in queen street and went to st Catherine's then all saints and Grandad in west street ince went to rose bridge would love to know what they was like when younger. There both really well and in great health
