My grandfather, William Smethurst, orginated from Hindley, Wigan. He stayed at 16 Liverpool Road. I've visited both Hindley and Wigan a few times, and would have to say that I've always found the people to be very pleasant and friendly.

it's a great site,- lived in wigan most of my life and i feel like i am chatting to family.
