I don’t know if anyone can help me I’m looking for my biological Dad . The problem is he doesn’t know I exist. He is called Derek Bennison and was living in Reddish Stockport when I was born in 1967.At the time he was working as a Telephone Engineer and did some work as a Bingo caller in the evening. He had two sisters.He was approximately 22 when I was born. He was about 5ft 7 and has brown eyes . He sometimes used an alias Derek Ferris. My mother’s name was Kathleen x I hope someone can help even with the smallest bit of information xx

Thanks for this great sight. My Granddad and his family were from Wigan. His Father, Charles Edwin George was a Bobby for many years there.

Many family members were born in and around Wigan in the mid to late 1800s. I've been looking around the site trying to find streets or anything else that might match my family records.
No luck, but interesting seeing where we came from.

Hi everyone I moved from Wigan in 1991 after my dad passed away and I had to move to Cheshire to be with family. I'm now married and live with my wife in Ontario Oregon. I was born in poolstock then at age 5 moved to ashton-in-makerfield. I lived at 58 Bolton road then moved next door to the huge house at 60 Bolton road. I attended cansfield high school finishing in 1989. If anyone uses this site that remembers give me a holla it would be great to catch up. I miss Wigan the memories and all of my friends.

I happened upon your site whilst I was looking for some info on my Paternal side of the family. My late father was born and bred in Wigan and I loved visiting my Grandma and Uncle often. Sadly I've discovered with the help of your site my Aunt and Uncle have died and are interred with my Grandma. I know I had a cousin Gladys, older than myself; she's somewhere still out there. Keep up the good work on here

Hi all, I'm new on here but just needed to send out the biggest love for my unbelievably brave Sis Shirl Andrews following her intensive course of Chemotherapy and Radiotherapy to rid her body of the disease that caused her to need a mastectomy recently. Thanks to her fantastic kids (v.old btw!!) JP and Jen, grandkids and close family she now is clear and on the road to full recovery. Love you so much beautiful lady. Your brothers Paul (me) Lee and my partner Chris are so very proud of you. What an inspiration xxxx

I was born in Wigan and still love to see old images from when I was a kid in the 60s and 70s.
