I've been researching an ancient ancestor who came from "Dover" (not the Kent one though) and who married in Wigan to a woman from Garston, Lancs. (not Garstang). I think Garston is/was SE of Liverpool on the river or canal. I think this website is one of the best I've worked with. Thanks a lot!

I found this site fascinating. I especially enjoyed the "old gallery". My grandfather was born in Wigan at 485 Warrington Rd on 2/14/1908. He and his father were both named Albert Goulding. My great-grandfather and his family all worked in the coal mines in Wigan before they came to America in May 1911 aboard the Carmania.
I love looking at the old pictures of the coalminers ... gives me an idea of how my ancestors lived.

Found the site most interesting, especially the old photographs of Dower House Farm. I work in Dower Street Platt Bridge and remember the old building well. I often wondered what it was like inside, now I know. Thought the comments from Ethan about Hindley Green a little uncalled for!!!! Keep up the good work, look forward to revisiting in the not too distant future.

Reading Orwell's classic "Road to Wigan Pier." With the understanding that it is a tale of a time well past, it remains an important place in journalistic and social criticism.
Thank you for the visit.

Magical Site, makes me wish I could come "Home"
I have a plea for anybody who knew Sheila Thomas of Osborne Rd Ashton in the 60's or even better, now. I believe she was once a Post Lady and had lovely long very Red hair. In the 60's we were engaged and I've NEVER forgotten her. And would love to know that she is well and happy. If you can help, please E-Mail me Thanks
Also researching my family and am trying to find details on my late Father's Dad who, I now know was Wigan's first ever Window Cleaner !! Can anyone help ?

The people of Lowton and Golborne may have a Warrington post code but I can assure you we pay our rates to WIGAN but do not appear to be worthy of a mention on this site
Response: eh? Golborne is listed and mentioned extensively. Also, a link exists for your "name" www.lowton.gq.nu - click links, scroll down a bit, the site is there!
