History of Wigan (Help with ancient and recent history.)
Started by: RobinG (451)
While looking round Wigan yesterday, I came upon the Museum in Library Street, and had a very interesting time in there, the staff are excellent, and very approachable. While speaking with a young lady member of staff, she told me that I could learn about my family history as they had staff to give advice, so I then spent over an hour learning about my grand parents who had lived in the Bryn area, it was surprising what my memory could remember, I came away with copies of the 1911 census showing the members of my family. Rather interestingly, one of the staff actually knew members of my family. I think that I should have put this in the genealogy section.
