General   (General discussion, talk about anything.)

Why is it, that, if a member of a Wigan family leaves Wigan, sets themselves up in another town, marries and produce offspring and lead a socially successful life, they are still regarded as a 'Wigan' family?

When, any family member from another town, who move from their town to Wigan, and do the same, automatically become "a Wigan family", not recognising their family origin?

Im sure the Eckersleys originated from Bolton and spread to Hindley.
