I WOULD like to contact any relatives I may have in the Bolton area. I am trying to construct a family tree but all my known relatives are dead and I did not pay attention to their stories when they were alive.
My father was Stanley Smith, son of Edward Pickering Smith and Mary Elizabeth Gregory, of Blackburn Road (Astley Bridge, I think).
My grandfather was a barber. My father's sister was Constance Foster (nee Smith) of Waverly Road. I also remember an aunt Annie Gregory of the Wool Shop on Blackburn Road.
My great grandfather would have been John Gregory, (married to Ellen, I think). He was, I believe a councillor, and owned the Wool Shop before Annie. He died, I think, about 1917.
I have memories of hearing my parents speak of Florrie Gregory and a Myra Gregory who appear to have been related but don't know any details about them.
A Gladys Wain also may be related as it seems were other Gregorys. I would love to hear from anyone who can help me fill in the family tree or has news of anyone above.
