Wigan Album

Glenys, you have put some brilliant pics of St. Williams walking days on here.....do you have any shots showing the other side of the church, going UP Ince Green Lane, as our house was there, next to the presbytery?

Sorry Irene these are the only ones that we have Our other relatives may have some I will check them out and if they have any I will put them on

The man in the centre of the picture with the cross on his lapel is my grandfather James Collins. The family lived in Meadway where my uncle Lawrence still lives, in the same house. My grandfather died in 1944 - we think this photo may be from around 1940-41. The priest's name might have been Fr Gavin.
