Sorry! Some of the accounts in Waugh refer to properties less than 200m of where I'm sitting right now.

My great-great-grandfather was a cotton weaver in Ashton (Audenshaw). He joined the Police force in 1860 - now I know why. A very good career move.

If you should bump into Stalybridge man again, Pilgrim, it would be great if you could get the whole song. Some of the Harland songs are a tad too sentimental for my taste.
