Evelyn was Grandad's second wife(Bill's stepmother)Grandad died in January 1965.There is a photograph of the the shop on Darlington St East in the "Work" section under "Shops in Wigan".When did you work there? I vaguely remember Evelyn or "Nanny Fowles" as I called her but I don't know what happened to her after she gave up the shop or when she
died.I would be grateful of any information you have.Many thanks
