I still don't know where the Leyland part of his name came from but normally it would be the surname of a spouse or someone of importance to the family so as to keep the name alive. His parents were John Hunter and Alice Southam so it would have to be further afield than them. It could also have come from something as mundane as the town of Leyland which isn't far from Manchester? Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

We still call it Mothering Sunday in my family and now we get daffodils from Church rather than Violets. I have generations back to the 1600's - in various parts of Lancashire - and here in Leigh, where I live, I count myself lucky to be able to put flowers on the graves of my Mother born 1904, Grandma 1881, Great Grandma 1853, Great Great Grandma 1823 & Great Great Great Grandma 1802 in our local cemetery -especially on Mothering Sunday.

Hi Mike It does not look like a church - maybe a rectory - my grandmother and family attended S.Thomas church in Ashton-in-Makerfield. There is a little boy wearing an hat trimmed with white fur, and wearing a coat/cape lined with fur.

Researching the family of John Broade MIDDLETON, b. Ashton under Lyne/Hooley Hill in May 1856. His parents were John W MIDDLETON, b. 1821, Longton, Staffordshire, and Hannah HOWARD, b. 1826, or 7, Dukinfield, Cheshire. Siblings were Ambrose, Mary, Ellen, Catherine, and Hannah. All born Ashton u Lyne/Hooley Hill. Sharon

Happy Mother's Day from Canada My grandmother, Emily Savage, was born 1892 in Ashton-in-Makerfield. Her parents were Adolphus and Ada Jackson Savage. I have been able to trace her family back to 1684 with help from this list and distant relatives met online. My mother remembers her mother saying it was the hardest thing she had ever done, leaving Lancashire for Canada in 1927. I have the trunk she came over with. One of the items she brought with her was a picture I believe was taken in Ashton-in-Makerfield - sometime between 1910-1915. In this picture there are approx. 60-70 children. The majority which are girls are all dressed in light coloured dresses and are all holding bouquets of flowers. One of the girls is wearing a crown. There are 2 ministers in the back of the group plus a few women. Behind them is a building. I have no names for any of these people (only my grandmother) but am willing to share the picture in hopes that someone would be able to find a relative (plus tell me if my grandmother's 2 brothers are in the picture and where and when the picture was taken).

Ann, was the building a church? and did you do a Genuki search in Google for churches in Ashton in Makerfield ? I have just seen two pictures showing churches established at a very early date. One of these might be the building in the background. I wonder if it was the crowning of the May Queen?

Thanks for explaining what the 1939 register was. So only if you were born prior to 1940 would you have one of these cards, is that correct?  But you would have been expected to be able to produce it until 1952 if asked by police?

Hello all Guess the subject line should actually read "better late than never?" In case you're not aware, the Manchester Histories Festival is underway and will end on the 30th.
