Hello Fred
Another interesting picture. Is the Bill Smith my mum's cousin from Melling St? It has a look of him.

Hi Fred
Do you ever see Annie? She did not send me a card this year.

I am from Doncaster and am interested in this photo showing Jimmy Makinson. My grandad William Stewart married Margaret Makinson in 1913 in Wigan - prior to that Margaret lived at Bridge End Street. Could Jimmy be a relative of hers - cousin or nephew maybe? Does anyone know?

Thanks for the photo my dad was John Foster on the middle row, we sadly lost him in 2007. Have you any more photos of him or his family? Its possible you may be related, his family came from Enfield Street.
