My grandmother is Mildred Speakman sitting on the front row. Her brother, Jack Speakman, is standing up on the back row. Can't believe I've found this.

Hi Tracy, have a look at the Roby Mill slot in this same "album : places" section of Wigan World, where you will find a couple of photos of your gt grandad John (also known as Jack). I'm in touch with your mum, and have another photo yet to go on, which has Mildred's brother on it.

Esther Latham was my mum and Fred was my uncle. Think this is the earliest photo I've seen of her. Thank you

Hi Tracey,

Your grandmother was my godmother! I'm sure your grandmother had a daughter Sandra, your mum or Auntie?
