Hi Sally
I had great grandparents and great great grandparents who lived in Vauxhall rd and BK Vauxhall rd,
Bk Vauxhall rd was the st,at the back of Vauxhall rd,Vauxhall rd is still there.
what is your ancesters name? you never know may be related mine were there in the 1800s.

Hi, Does anyone have any information on the Former Imperial Hotel, Mancherster Road, Higher Ince. I am looking for the date the site closed and was demolished.

I am wondering what the difference is in Back Vauxhall road and vauxhall road. My great grandparents lived at 15 Back Vauxhall road in 1863 when their daughter was born

Info for GEOFF HEYDER, N.Z. This site is a very informative one,once you find your way thro'it. Select "stuff" on the tool bar, then scroll down to Wigan cemetery index. insert your Preston name in the search box, and it will give you the names of any relatives who lived around the Poolstock area @ the time, and the grave no. they are buried in. Sadly, 107 Poolstock Lane was demolished quite a few years ago, and the site is overgrown. Good luck in your search

does anyone remember tommy the milk horse who pulled the milk cart around cale lane area in the 1960's my auntie used to live there and i can remember him being retired to a farmers field by the canal bridge

Bill St Helens, you can find Kathleen on Hindley Green Residents Guestbook

brill website love alll of the interesting posts in the forum and all of them pictures are great especially the ones of the baths after it shut down and the ones of billinge hospital. keep this great site running

I am still trying to find my cousin Rita Howarth, they lived at either 197 or 179 can't remember Poolstock Road, Rita was born around 1941 her Mum and Dad where Lily and Len Howarth. Hope someone out there can help me find Rita.

I made a mistake with my previous message.My descendants come from Wigan.107 Poolstock Lane to be exact.the family name is Preston and they lived there up until about 1900 before they emigrated to New Zealand.I found the house in 1996 when I was in England and took photos.Not sure if number 107 Poolstock lane is still there,can someone let me know if it is please.Any information about the Preston family in the 19th century would be good.They go back on one side to Adam and Mary Sharples who came from Scotland in the late 1700s.

....greetings again from Swansea. Since you were good enough to post my Wigan Atletic v Swansea City preview, the least I can do is to invite any of your readers to read my Swansea-centric match report on

Best of luck for the season- I hope we can both be good enough to make next year's return be a PL fixture, too.

Respect.

I wonder if anyone knows what happened to Anthony Rigby who lived in Moss Road Billinge H.E .in the 50's
