My dad was Jack Greenwood, his mum was Maria (Beck) and his dad was Isaac Greenwood. My dad used to say he was related to Frank Scanlon but never knew how. I know that the Penningtons have a link with the family, but again not sure how but always thought it was through the Beck's.... can you shed any light on this please?

I know the comments on here haven't been live o for a while. Does anyone know if second from right on back row is Elizabeth Pennington who was born about 1891 and married Thomas Hilton in about 1913 at Platt Bridge. If so she is my Great Grandma.
