looking for any one who went to orrell st james school in the 1950s

new to this research and will keep trying

Sheila - I know it's a long shot but the Slevins I knew now have a brewery, Prospect Brewery, on Bradley Lane Standish. They might know the person you are looking for.

I'm interested in Wigan as ancesters were born there.

Sorry Patty wrong John it was John Finch just looked and it was 1847 Sep 15th when they married

Hi Patty sounds like theres a connection somewhere Susanah married a John Leyland,will have to dig out my findings and have a proper look but you proberly know more than me about the name.keep in touch.
regards M

Linda - I don't know whether she was a nurse or not. Just know she lived in Standish all her life and her husband's name was Jackie. He died in 1999. They had no children

Hi; Les' Hope you are keeping well.I still dont know if Eric is ok.Pease let me know.

Sheila Mears - was the lady you are asking about a nurse? I knew the Slevin family who lived on Wigan Road and Mrs Slevin has died and she would have been in her 80's.

Looking for Betty Slevin who lived at 58 Almond Brook Rd, Standish. We used to correspond but have lost touch with each other. She may have passed on as she would be in her 80's. Would appreciate any information.

i want to find a few more friends

hi albert roy scrivens is my grandad

Hello everyone, well anyone who knows or remembers me from Whelley Secondary Modern School - one of the best!
I've just been having a look at the site for Whelley Sec. Mod. and noticed a few 'old-timers'there - male and female...hehehe.
Ken (Broxon), how are you these days. Good I hope. Do you remember what we used to say when everything was OK........'chiddypad!'
Now don't tell me you forgotten...already.
Also some of my friends in the same class. Where are you? I do confess, however, some have gone to pastures new.
If this gets through to the site, give me a call, if you wish.
Take care,
God Bless,
Malc Bannister.
