Taken about 1954 or 1955 in our back garden at 22 Leaway, Ince, before we left for the church. I am on the left, my sister Lilian is on the right and my brother Tommy in the middle.

Thanks Josie. My email address is in my profile,(jacklaw), but I doubt if you will manage to drop it off as I am in Inverness just now. I will be coming down to Wigan towards the end of June so maybe I could pick it up off you.
