Linda we lived next door at number 14 Irene and Dougie with a young son Daved, if you ever look on WW now and see this, would you just say hello and how your keeping look on any topic we have often wandered about the lovely little that lived next door, thats if you remember us

After spending a long time searching for the family of a fallen WW1 soldier from Wigan (Joseph Murphy KLR), I came across your site, which has been so very helpful in finding his family history. Your work is much appreciated. Thank you.

Several years ago I did a test on Ancestry.com and discovered that I was 78% British. This led to further research in the states and a couple of reasons for my ancestors ultimately changing the spelling of my maiden name from Hindle to Hindley and once again to Hinsley in the US. Further research took my ancestry back to British History Online which linked my family to Adam de Hindley living in the year 1292 who is also linked back to a location called Aspull. I am looking for someone who may be able to tell me more about additional history of my family, photos, etc.

Rob, are you a member of WW?

for peter p
peter it wont make any difference if you defer
your pension for any benefit including carers
allowance its calculated as if your receiving your pension ( because you will eventually )
although you do do recieve a premiun towards housing benefit / council tax hope this helps

Just keep trying because I think Ron is running the site on his own.

Long shot . Was chatting with a lady called Gill today on the Wigan to Lime St train , freelance hairdresser , possibly from Wallgate area, going shopping to Liverpool.Didn’t take her details but she was interested in meeting Michael Caine. If she can contact through this site , might have some good news

TerryW, I tried that, no reply.

Just a reminder, if you want to become a member please contact, ron@wiganworld.co.ukp

Emmerline, I am sorry no one better than me, has been able to help you with your query.
Have you looked at a website called 192 ?
It has a find people service. General enquiries show that the name Eileen Ainscough is listed in the Wigan area 5 times over the last few years.

Hi,
A long shot but I'm wondering if anyone knows a woman called Eileen Ainscough, I think she is living in Platt bridge at the moment near St Nathaniels. She used to live in Mannion house in Scholes! A friend of the family whom we have lost touch with but we still get Christmas cards but have no information for her. Thanks

Hi. My grandfather was born in 1897 in Wigan. His name was Harry Hilton and his father was Thomas Hilton. I believe the year they immigrated to the US was 1901. Several brothers and sisters remained in Wigan. We are planning a trip to England in 2021 and will be visiting Wigan. Looking for the possibility of cousins in Wigan. Thanks much. Happy holidays.
