My great grandfather Thomas McSorley. A coalminer, he lived at Warrington Rd Lower Ince, and married Rachel Jones at St Mary's, Ince on 31st March 1888. They had 3 sons (John Thomas,Robert and Peter) and a daughter (Beatrice). Each had large families of their own and many descendants, now in Wigan and beyond.

Does anyone know more about Thomas, such as the pit or pits he worked at? Any info. greatly appreciated.

Hello, my name is Kevin Mcsorley and I live in Blackburn. I was born in Wigan in 1955 and my parents names are Irene Mcsorley and Thomas Mcsorley and I have never met them and would like further information please. I also have the original birth certificate too. I have tried to get in contact with Kathleen Devine but have not received any response. I know she is looking for me on genes reunited but I am unable to get in contact with her. So any information will be helpful. thankyou
