William Finch born in Wigan on the 1st July 1915 working at Livesey's of Queen Street c1932.

I think he must have borrowed the cart, because the name of G. Haggerty - Grocer can be seen stencilled on the side.

Derek, have seen your name on the site before, seem to have interesting parrallels. Who is this William? My Grandad was a William Finch.

This William was my Grandad. My dad is also called Derek and Finch is quite a common name in Wigan. My grandad was from a family of seven, 4 brothers and 3 sisters. I have traced my family tree, and I don't know if you and I are related? I notice your email address is in Oz, well one of the sisters Elizabeth (Lizzie) emigrated to NSW
