there was plenty of Brennans or brennens lived in wigan. you are better putting this on PEOPLE . you will get a better response.

Like your site and wonder if anyone has any family history of John Brennan who came from Ireland about 1910 to live and get married in Leigh. He died in the late 50`s

Do you care for a friend, relative or neighbour due to disability or ill health, do you live in the Wigan Borough? If yes, you could be entitled to free podiatry and aromatherapy. We can also offer you practical support and training/activities. We can put in touch with a free counselling service, arrange a carer's assessment (if needed).
For more information give the Carer's Centre a call 01942 705959

Why are certain roads, example being Swan Lane classed as being in Hindley when infact Swan Lane is actually in Hindley Green. We even have signs saying "Welcome to Hindley Green" but it seems Wigan World wiped Hindley Green from the map.

A great site - you obviously work at it.

Now a question. I am writing a magazine article for which the photo of the Tweny Arches Bridge might bbe useful. Do you know who has the copyright and is their image sharper?
