History of Wigan   (Help with ancient and recent history.)

Glad to be able to help ,
I was lucky enough to be able to get all granddads service history including that from the Boer war (he enlisted under a false identity being under age) from ancestry but I believe a lot of early records where lost in the fire following the building they were stored in being bombed in WW2. I have his medals from both wars and a couple of photographs from his time in Queen Alexandra's hospital
