General   (General discussion, talk about anything.)

I can.t prove this but years ago when talking with a few old people Uncle joe's mint balls came up, for no other reasons than this women knew the Seddon family that lived in a house in Bryn road South that had a confectionery shop just on Bolton Road, their daughter Ellen made suets in the house kitchen for sale in the shop the mint balls was one of them, (Not called Uncle Joe's then) she latter married a William Santus from Wigan already a suet maker by trade it was him that gave them the name of Uncle Joe's but the first place they were made and sold was in Ashton-in-Makerfield
