History Of My Parents

A Memory of Collyhurst.

I'm 73, can recall my Grandmother and Grandfather, Elizabeth and Joseph Wilkinson, living at 7 Ryder Street, close to St James' church (I think). My father was Harry Wilkinson, he had two brothers, Albert and Arthur and two sisters, Bertha and Ettie. I'm doing a memory book for my grandchildren and would love to find out more about the area where my father lived. My mother lived in Collyhurst too, for a time, she was called Edith Savage, had a sister and a brother, Hilda and Tom. My maternal grandparents were Thomas and Caroline Savage. My parents died over 30 years ago, very suddenly within 3 weeks of each other, I never got chance to talk to them about their lives so want to gather as much information as possible to pass onto my grandchildren who live in Australia.
