Taken in 1924, my Great Uncle Thomas Rhead is on the back row with the light grey jumper and striped tie.

Hello Steven, Thank you for posting this. I'm new to geneology but I think we may have los of relatives in common. I am related to the Rheads who came to Wigan from Staffs in about 1880. Originally they settled in Ince Green Lane and then in Woodhoue Lane. I am also related to the Buckleys who were all "Flaggers and Slaters" (Roofers and Tilers in todays speak) and lived around the Hallgate, Spring Gardens, Frog Lane and Whelley areas. It would be great to hear from you.
