Descendants of Robert Slack
MS P GREGSON of 34 Leonard Close, Donnington, Telford, Shropshire, TF2 8BG, says: I am trying to find descendants from Robert Slack of Halliwell, Bolton, who started life as a tram driver (Bolton to Horwich).
Robert got killed on board a ship in the Second World War, he was a friend of my late granddad Henry Gregson people called him Harry.
I don’t know the name of the ship, granddad had just got onto another ship when he saw with horror his mate’s ship blown up by torpedo.
I think Robert used to live on Lomax Street, Halliwell in the late 1800s to 1900s.
Any information gratefully received.
