This is Thomas and Mary Bryson. I lived with them in the early 50's. I called them Granny and Granpa but they were not my grandparants. I would like to share this photo of them with their family. They were lovely people and I was very happy there. Unfortunatley I don't know much more about them. I left when Granny died.

Jill, these are my Grandparents who lived at St Clements Rd, Wigan. They were my Mother's parents came to Lancashire from Scotland, I think that was in the early 1920's or a little before. I got quite a shock to see their faces on WW. If you go to People section in album & look under Bryson Family you can see pics that I have posted.

How long did you live with them & did you also know my Auntie Greta & Uncle George Bryson ?

My family moved to Kent in about 1954.

If you are happy sharing your email address with me, we could swop notes maybe ?
