Hi Steven
Iwill ask about if any of my neighbours know any Hodsons from that area someone may know of any family still living in Ince,will get back to you soon.

Looking forward to getting in touch with friends.

Thankyou very much for allowing me to join.

Hi jo sorry its taken so long to get back to you yes i do know where you used to live its about 2.5 miles from me.It is a small world we live in.Is there anybody in your area that remembers farmer Steet.That would probably make margaret about 75-80.

Some time back I posted info on my Gfather Thomas LAWTON--Just found the site again and find that my new e-mail address should be seen---rhsgcm@hotmail.com--how do I change the e-mail address

Some "I remember..." memories of Whitley Crossing posted in the Steam Train section.

Message for BRIAN GALLAGHER, Brian, who runs the site, may be able to help you. His e.mail address is, brian@wiganworld.co.uk If your problem can be sorted, he will help you. By the way,its a long shot, but you don't happen to be the Brian Gallagher who worked as a t/v tech with me, many years ago?

I would really like to be able to access Wiganworld, but, unfortunately, even though I previously registered, I am not recognised when I try to retrieve my password.

I keep seeing blogs from people I know, but can't join in. How sad, since it is not possible to re-register at the moment.

Welsh ancestry of course.....happy to receive this

Hi Stephen
The Waggon works have gone there is now a housing estate in its place,most of ince worked there. Farmer st, was demolished at least 40yrs ago not exact though. my husband says his mother had no sisters named Margret so maybe connected some other way.
I myself lived at Highgate do you know it?

Hi Stephen i really though Hodson was an uncommon surname until i started doing my family tree. My grandad was born in Abram Warrington road. He had 10 bothers and sisters who stayed around the Abram or Ince areas of wigan. Do you have margarets parents names? If so I may be able to link to some of the info I have on my family tree.

Hi jo her christian name was margaret and she worked at Wagon and iron works, do you know if that building has gone as well.how long ago was it that Farmer St was demolished.Thank you for answering my first message,where in Rotherham were you.regards Steve.

Stephen farmer st is no longer standing.
What was the christian name of hodson my mother inlaws maiden name was hodson but i dont think they lived in farmer st,but she did have sisters.also hows this for a coincedence i came from near rotherham but now live near what used to be farmer st.

Really enjoy your site.Nice and easy to find your way around. Love all the pictures.
Thankyou.

Solved a problem as I looked for Every St and could not find it. Until I saw photos of Greenough Street, it was off there where shoeless club is now. Would like a photo of it as it was redeveloped. My great grandad lived there with his family, 3 brothers lost in the Great War as many were in those days. One in bagdad, two in France. It was a thriving area in those days around 1916. Trying to find out as much as possible. Thanks

What a great place to have a laugh and a tear with all the memories I left behind in 1964. I lived in Pepper Lane with my Mum and Dad and my two sisters. Even though I love England, the wide brown land is for me!! Come on Aussies and get them ashes back!!!!!
