I've put this on because Maureen Andrews commented how cute a puppy was on a picture with my mother. This is the puppy when she grew up Maureen. She was the most fabulous dog. Just thought you may want to see. I reckon the picture was taken in 1960 as I was born 1959. Victoria Rd Platt Bridge.

Hi Pamela
Did you have any Walls relatives in Abram? My mum was in the St John's Ambulance Brigade with a Mrs Walls and I think that somewhere I have a photo of her.

It depends on how long ago you are talking. The handsome fellow in the picture above married a lady called Susan and they lived in Abram on Simpkin Street estate. Oh, my great aunt Ethel Walls lived on Abram bridge, she owned a fruit shop there. I can't think where her children lived, I may remember later. :)

Sorry, meant to say. It would be nice to take a look to see if I recognise her.

Hi Pam
I will have to search for it but we have not unpacked everything yet. My mum knew her in the 1950's .
Just found my autograph book and she wrote in it..
Mrs Walls 12 May 1956... Roses are red , Violets are blue, Sugar is sweet, And so are you. I remember she came from Abram and wore glasses.

Well Pam... don't you look like a little cherub! A veritable angel! What the hell happened? :-*

You know... I had totally forgotten your Uncle Chris.

Sorry Pamela..your lovely Rinty was a girl..and not a boy as I stated earlier..I hope she would have forgiven me.

Hi Pam,
Barbrara and I met at 'your' Chris's wedding on 6th June 1970. I have posted a photo of my mum (Ethel) dad (Jimmy) and myself taken at St Nathaniels church on that day (see Walls Family - Warrington Road)!

Message for Derek Walls - Derek you mention that you have posted a picture of your Mum and Dad which I would love to see, but I can't seem to find it? Hope that you are all well. xx
