Hi Valerie, Unfortunately I have very little information on the ACKERS name after 1900 unfortunately, but once you get back further I think I will be of more help. However, I do have the following in my records, and I wonder if this might be your uncle's half brother. If you could send information of your ACKERS records I would be most grateful, and I will try and and help you if I can. This was on the Leigh Cemetry graves listing: Ref 9513 John Joseph Ackers, retired miner d.28 Dec 1965 bur.4 Jan 1966 58B Plank Lane, Abram P36 M8 Looking forward to hearing from you again Allan Finland > > How far have you got with ACKERS, as my uncle, though born Evans, was > adopted when his mother married an Ackers?
