Thank you for a wonderful trip down memory lane looking at pictures of Haigh Hall! I was born in Southport, but came to the US as an infant. British mother/GI father. I spent many hours at Haigh Hall while visitng with my aunt and uncle, John and Marie Raffo, now deceased. They had the Baronay Restaurant and did the catering for banquets and weddings at Haigh Hall. Thank you!

Just wondering if there is anyone out there from Highfield School and anyone from Goose Green area

Hi I am trying to contact family members/friends I have lost touch with.
I went to Cansfield High School and my maiden name is JULIE PERKINS born 1965.
My mother MARGARET SEDDON, brother PHILIP SEDDON and my sister LYNN SHERMAN still reside in Wigan. Thankyou Jules

Am researching my family history and have discovered that my maternal great grandmother was born at Bradley Hall and her family immigrated from England to Australia circa 1883. Would very much appreciate being in contact with any one who could pass on information, particularly historical information, concerning Bradley Hall.

Just to say this is a really global website & Hello to Andy in Esslingen...my husband's family are from that area of Germany,
Esslingen, Tubingen, Reutlingen.....

trying to trace a family member.

I´m looking for Eileen from Wigan who was studying to be a teacher at Poulton-le-Fylde College of Education 1968-71.I wronged her badly. Would dearly like to see her again. Can anyone help me to find her?

like to see what people have to say; and have a laugh at some things they say.

My mother was Patricia Conroy, daughter of Edmund and Hanna. I spent my early childhood at 68 Market Street, before moving with my parents to California in 1955, my father William Giles was with the 8th Airforce stationed in Bertonwood. The sight is very interesting, and brought back some wonderful childhood memories. Found an ad for Conroy Bros, fantastic.

this message is for paul topping where in wigan did you grow up

Sally Dillon, the address would be:
4,Watmough's Yard, rear of 82, Scholes.

Look in "Stuff" at the top of this page, Look for Wigan Yards

To Sally Dillon a yard in the past was when a house was built round a square.a courtyard.In later times terraced houses where built back of houses to back of houses with a small space between back of houses(for outside toilet etc)this was the yard.later terraced houses got longer yards instead of back gardens(simplified )

In my previous posting I meant to say what is a yard was it a small street.
