Hi Ron - My mother's name was Rose Gallagher. They lived three doors from the Black Bull at 134 Hardybutts.
Just before WW2 they moved to Scholes Crossing where her mother ran a shop.
They were 4 older children in her family whose surname was Henry: Tommy, Paddy, Teddy and Teresa. All now deceased
Then the Gallagher's were Molly, Winnie, Rose and the youngest was Peggy (Elizabeth). My mother is the only surviving one and she is now 85.
She says that Mother Griffin was Jannie Bennett's mother and she lived across the road from the Black Bull.
Her daughter Kitty Griffin lived with her. Kitty had red hair and was very pretty. She worked in the Empress Cotton Mill. Joan Bennett also lived there and went to St. Patricks School.
