What a really marvellous site about Wigan!
Indeed, it's the best I've seen. I wonder if it would be possible to eventually include other Wigan Directories and maybe (searchable) Census information?
I've bookmarked the site and will pass it on to my friends.

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.

My mothers family (the Myers family - grandma, and the Lynch family - grandad)come from wigan and I decided to look at your site while researching my family. Great site. My grandparents dont get access to the www so im gonna print some of the pages and show them. they may be able to provide you with stuff which i could scan for you, or even some stories. I know my grandmas side of the family owned a pub and a street of houses. i'l find out which. keep up the good work, Lisa

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.
