Hi Rolo,I believe that 313 Wallgate is next to the entry that went down to the Princess Cinema and my Grandads brother Alfred Morris lived there with his in-laws about 1900.Later they moved to Francis St.which was the little street off Prescott St that ran down to the engine sheds entrance.The Morris side of my family came from Staffordshire about 1880 and my Gt. Grandad,my Grandad and most of the male children worked at The Forge in Ince.My Marsh side I have traced back to the early seventeen hundreds in Wigan and without exception they were pit men.If you keep digging on the internet it is amazing what you find.
At least we don't live in our condom like the Americans do,Harry.
