In reply to Albert Parr requesting the whereabouts of Jimmy Barton. I am his son, Barry, and he has asked me to reply on his behalf. Jimmy is still living in the Wigan area and would be pleased to hear from you.

Hi there,

I'm searching for a newspaper article about Aspull dog training show on the 12th Dec 08. I have no idea which paper it was in. I am aware there was on in the WEP on the 15th of Dec which I have however I have been told there's another one with a picture of my and my dog possibly in the Wigan Courier.

If anyone knows anything about this article or which paper it was in could they get in contact with me at ariesdavies@hotmail.com

Thanks

I think this site is really impressive. Well done, and many thanks to all involved. I've particularly enjoyed looking at the photographs of Wigan streets, although I must admit that the sight of the street where I was brought up (Green Street, Platt Bridge) brought a lump to my throat as it showed just a patch of green where my old home once stood. Tom Sutch very kindly provided me with a long-distance view of my old home, the only one I've seen so far and which I am very pleased to have. If there is anyone out there with a close-up photo of Gore's shop, please get in touch.

Thanks again for a superb website.

I have found lots of valuable information on the site and it is very interesting. This is a really good site for genealogists.
