Family History

A Memory of Heywood.

I visited Heywood in November 2010, to see for myself the area where my family originated sometime in the 1600's. I know that was a long time ago, but, I swear, when I walked up Bury New Road to the top of Summit and then ventured into the farmer's field (that borders the Lower Lomax Farm) I could feel the connection tugging at me through the centuries. I am American but I truly felt as if I had come "home". Heywood is a wonderful little town and I like the fact that it is still primarily working class. I plan to return soon. The people are top also.

My dad came from Heywood, lived on Hill Street, born in 1915. He met my mum in the 1930's, she was in service somewhere at Summit, any ideas? I have walked up there but cant see any big houses
