I am try to get in touch with an old friend, GILLIAN COWKING. Gillian would be late 60s / early 70s now. She was at Manchester University 1961 to 1963 then at Manchester College of Commerce '63 - '64. She worked in the British Embassy Budapest '64 0 '66 and the went to the British Embassy in 1966. I know she later went to Canada to work but I lost touch with her then. The last address I had for her was "Kingswood", Bilborrow Lane, Brock, Preston Lancs. Gillian had a sister Ann(e). Does anyone know or remember Gillian? Please contact me at cairvie@yahoo.co.uk. Thank you. Kath Cleaver nee Bromley.

My grandfather and father were principals of the village school in Churchtown from the late 19th to the mid 20th centuries and I lived there until 1947. I still maintain contact with a couple of my contemporaries of that era.

I'm trying to trace my Great Grandfather Richard Dixon~ and his father Joseph Dixon~ both Labourers. **A possible lead is the 1881 census entry for a Richard Dixon~ dob 1860 born Candervale~ Lancashire~ but at that time a boarder at Wesham.**My Richard Dixon married Margaret Gillett at Westby~ Lancashire in 1882 and eventually ended up in Blackburn~ where my grandfather Joseph Dixon was born in 1895.
