Been trying to get onto site to reply to someone calling themselves 'flaggy delf' and enquiring about some one called Hance and Elizabeth Cain from Standish. I have some limited info but more important my dad who is 94 and still alive, just, is I think related.
If by chance the prison concerned sees this please email me.

So you're not going to post my guestbook entry either? Since the moment I first emailed this website you have done nothing but ignore me. I've spent many years lurking on this site without ever signing up (I wonder why...) and have slowly watched it decline. You ban anybody with an opinion and run your message boards like Nazi Germany. Whoever is currently the admin of this site needs to be removed and replaced with someone who actually has a grasp of internet communications and message boards. Spend a bit of time on an international forum and see how things are really run. See what it takes to run a successful website instead of this cliquey little set up you've currently got going on. I thought this was supposed to be for the Wigan community? I want to contribute and you wont let me for absolutely no reason whatsoever. I've had quicker responses from YouTube. I'll enjoy watching your ''community'' get smaller and smaller and actively encourage people to stay away from here.

Hello!
I've started the petition "Wigan Council: Clean it up, open it up and let it be used and enjoyed. It was once used as a learning centre and museum and a wonderful place to visit for people from not only Wigan but all over the world." and need your help to get it off the ground.
Will you take 30 seconds to sign my petition.
Here's why it's important:
Wigan Pier is famous throughout the world, but it's in a TERRIBLE STATE right now and no-one seems to care. This seems to be typical of Wigan Council to allow a beautiful building to rot until it becomes a Health and Safety hazard and has to be demolished. I for (just) one would love to see the Pier back to the wonderful place it was in the 80’s and 90’s where school children took trips and families took days out in the sunshine. The Pier has so much history that is important to the people of Wigan. First in digging the canal and Pier many Saxon age arms and weapons were found. Second the importance the area and Pier played in the industrial age, Wigan was at the heart of the coal and cotton industry which paid wages for near on the whole of the town. Third George Orwell (who is read all over the world), yes he may have slated our town/county in writing his book (The Road to Wigan Pier) but he also put our little town on the map. I would love to see the site restored and used as a leisure and learning hub…. Let us educate our children about our town and its long long history. Done correctly this could not only inject some much needed cash into the council fund but also inject the knowledge of our wonderful town into our children and visitors alike.

Hi,
I am trying to find information about the Brown family who lived at 29 Hope Street, Springview, Wigan. The only record I have is from my grandparents marriage certificate. My grandfather John Brown married Hilda Lloyd in London in 1941. He died in December 1943 at Monte Cassino, Italy. They had a son Ronald, my dad. Thanks for helping me out. Jaqi Brown.
