My father Thomas was born in Pemberton 1897.His sisters Bella Parkinson,Alice Cullen and Dorothy Bond.His brothers Sam and John.
I was born in Leeds where my mother Lilian came from. Any cousins out there?

Very interesting and informative.
Could anyone tell me where the word/name
MESNES came from and give some information on the history of it.
Thank you.

I think wigan is stuck in the past.As for someone who is from lancashire.I never did like wigan.
Nothing is done about the traffic on the road.Plus what do they do built more shopping centre.So we get more cars on the road.
Getting a taxis can be hard a times.The bus service is poor.God help the old people.There a lights everywhere.Looks like london at times.

Good point: There a alot of good shops and clubs and pub.What they offer.
But my point is the wigan people do not mix well with outside people.

Great site!
