Hi Patrick, did Thomas have Unsworth relatives, e.g. a brother who lived in Gathurst Road, by any chance?
John B,
He had 2 brothers and 4 sisters. George - died in ww2, William, Ann, Elizabeth, Sarah and Jane. Not sure were they all lived though.
Thanks Patrick. I was interested because my "best man", Malcolm Unsworth, his parents lived in Gathurst Road and Malcolm's father would have been about the same age as Thomas. I think he was called Bill but can't be sure, it was the 1960's.
I know that William married Mary Martha Seddon and they lived in Scholes in the 90's. William was known as Billy and he was born in 1915.
Hi
My father was Bill Unsworth who married Joan Taylor. My Dads parents were Harold and Margaret. We lived on Gathurst Lane and my father died in 1990 aged 70. Some older ones might remember my Dad being dance band leader of The Empress Orchestra.Hope this helps

Bill Unsworth Band backed me at Primrose Valley in the 80s. He did all my music scores with his band for me and did it for FREE.
A smashing band leader.
I am a singer with a name band but I did Primrose Valley solo.
Keith Hurst in Charge gave me a break he auditioned me doing a show for Primrose Valley a free show and after he gave me Summer Seasons at Reighton Gap.

Bill Unsworth was good. I have photos of him backing me.
