Winnie, I have been trying to find your grandfather, but there's not much to go on. I did find a John Johnson born in Orrell in 1925 but that's not really much help to you, as it's not necessarily right and in any case it doesn't get you any further.
Do you know your grandmothers Christian name?
Your grandfather must have died young if your grandmother was a widow in 1960s, could he have died in the war?
On this database his birth is registered as in Wigan, but on Lancashire BDM it's registered as Orrell.
