I WAS wondering if any of your readers could help me get in touch with Sam and Marion Gibbons, who emigrated to Australia from Bolton many years ago.

Sam and Marion were great friends of my mum and dad, the late Norah and Joe Eggington.I and my sister, Josephine, managed to get in touch when our dad died in 1991, but we have since lost their address and telephone number, and, unfortunately, they don't know our mum died three years ago, and still send her a Christmas card every year.

We know the news will come as a great shock to them, so the sooner we can get in touch the better. We would be extremely grateful to anyone who has Sam and Marion's address or telephone number, if they could contact me at the address below.

Mrs Mary Roberts (nee Eggington)

20 Aldersyde Street, Bolton, BL3 3BB
