My dad grew up in Bilsborrow in the house next door to the White Bull pub. I spent many a happy day at my nanna and granddad's house. My nanna used to be a cook at Bilsborrow Primary School and my granddad was a bus driver. They were very involved with the community. Our first born son is buried with my grandparents in St Hilda's. I love the place, it is peaceful and beautiful. When I visit to put flowers on our son's grave we always eat at the Roebuck.

Lea, Blackpool Road c1955
Ref: L472006
The original name of the place was Quinneys, not the Pig and Whistle as previous correspondents have noted. It was built between the wars by my grandfather Jack Swarbrick for my Grandmother (Elizabeth) to run. One of the features of the place (so I'm told) was a sprung dancefloor.

My Mother: Veronica Kenny (Vera) Preston Lancashire
My mom had a best friend, her name was Marie, who married Bill and my mother was their maid of honour. My family in Scotland still have the picture of the wedding day with Bill in his army uniform.
I was born in Preston in 1944. Mom married and moved to Scotland, friendships in Preston continued and around 1950 Mom brought her little family back to visit her friends Marie and Bill as well as a family whose last name was Cox, I think Jack Cox and Grandma Cox.
I would like to contact the lady I knew as Auntie Marie, I expect that she had children who may know of my mother.
If there are any members of the Cox family who may know of my mom from older relatives please contact me.
Mom was raised in Moorefield convent in Preston and at around 18 years old she went to work in a munitions factory in or near Preston. I would appreciate hearing from anyone who can give me the slightest amount of information.
I live in North Carolina, USA, and would love to hear from anyone who may think that they or their family members might have known my mom.

Preston, St Walburge's Church 1897
Ref: 40996
My great-grandfather Hugh Bell (born 1854) was the 13th child to be baptised at the then new church. He was later married there in 1874 to an Alice Gradwell from Preston. One of many children of William Gradwell (born 1818) and a descendant from the famous GRADWELL family. I, Brian Freeman, was a painter and decorator and served my apprenticeship with John Corbishley and Sons, 170 North Road, Preston from 1950/1956, and was not aware when Corbishleys decorated St Walburge's Church that my family had any connection with the said church.
