Comments: Hi - enjoyed your site. My Dad and his family (Marsdens) left Wigan to come to NZ in the 20's. I believe they lived in Poolstock Lane. I plan to visit Wigan in April. I can't wait. My Dad died in 1960 but I clearly remember things he said like telling me to "put wood'nt hole". Kia ora and thank you.

got bored and decieded to look at your site for a while

I live in Cardiff with my girlfriend , who comes from Wigan . We both share a passion for the artist ISHERWOOD from Wigan . We have a few of his paintings , and are keen to get some more . He painted 12000 pieces in his career . If you have any please get in touch by mail or phone 07990501530

My great grandfather William T. Winstanley
was born in Wigan, came to Canada in the mid
1800's, so I am always interested in anything
I can find out about Wigan or the Winstanley
family.

excellent site bringing back lots of memories o my old home town.my wife margaret (A SCOT) who lived in wigan for 30 years also has fond memories of the town, indeed probably knows more wiganers than me, she was supervisor in the BAKED POTATO on the old bus station for 15 years. Keep up the good work your page is like a breath of fresh air in these long winter evenings.

I'm interested with Ron asking for photos of hawkley hall,what is your connection with h.h.{you didn't leave e-mail address}As a child in the fifties I used to visit the hall
being a friend of the Jameson children [Frank,Barbara]whose parents owned it in those days.I can't believe they knocked it down.Was the architecture Jachobiean?

I believe the name Browitt originated in Wigan but do not know how or when but would be grateful for any news about the nameand would be pleased topass on any information about Australia.

I wonder if any one out there
Has any photos of Hawkley Hall
Before it was tragically demolished,
By our forwarding thinking councilmen.

An excellent site, which has progressed tremendously over the last couple of months. It's great to read all the news and the Wigan speyk section is brilliant. Are you planning to cover more on sport and events happening in Wigan on the site soon?

Best wishes

I am researching my Chisnall/France family and my grX grandmother, Ann Chisnall was born in Hindley in 1828. I am wanting to know more about the community. I will bookmark this site for future reference. Any ideas where i can locate a good map of the region, including Hindley, on the web?

Warm regards from Portland, Oregon,
