My Grandmothers Place of Birth

My grandmother, Ivy Ashurst, was born and lived in Golborne for about 18 years, she told me lots of stories, of the mines and the cotton factories. Her father, Harry Ashurst, used to run a Boot and Clog Depot in Golborne, I have a photo.

My father, Robert Moon, was born in Golborne also, his father was Robert Anthony Moon, who came from around the Golborne area.

My grandmother worked for a little while in a hospital called Winwick.

If anyone remembers my grandmother or my father, please get in touch with me.

Thanks for your time, as I am so interested in Golborne.
