I was born in Lofthouse, in Wrights fold, which ran east from Leeds Road at the South side of the wagon road.My sister Joan, is the May queen shown in your Lofthouse remembered photos. She married Bernard Marshall. He was the man who hawked vegetables and fruit from the horse and wagon shown in your photos. Bernard bought the business from Frank Wrigley who lived in Westgate, along side the footpath which ran from School Lane and alongside the Nancy fields

I am searching for the family of John Cheetham(1901-1980) who owned a hat factory in Hyde and was Lord Mayor of Hyde in 1971 .John married Hannah Cheetham, Mary Smith and then Jane Smith her sister.Mary and Jane's father was a shoemaker in Gee Cross.The other names that marry into the family are Charles Potts, Ann E Pennington, Nancy Anne Taylor, and a little further back the Kinder's, Hibbbert' Simister's and Colliers.I along with a few other family members have already compiled some of the family tree back to 1806 but we would welcome more information.
