Cheshire / Chesters family, Nantwich

Hello,
Two people who had a very strong influence on my upbringing were my next door neighbours. They were two sisters called Elsie and Daisy Chesters, and during the 1960s, I must have spent at least an hour every day with them. They lived at 46 South Crofts, Nantwich, had also played a significant role in my mother's upbringing, and eventually gave my parents the house that I grew up in - 47 South Crofts.
Strangely, though, I know very little about them. I knew them as 'Big Miss Chesters and Little Miss Chesters'. Little Miss Chesters - Elsie may have died in the 1970s, and Daisy lived until the end of 1986, just long enough to see the birth of my first son.
I know one of them worked in Stretch and Harlocks shop, and we used to go up Queens Drive to see a Mrs Brown. Probably a work colleague.
There was also a connection with a family in Whitchurch, and a young boy called Christopher, whom I met on a couple of occasions.
They spoke of 'Daddy Chesters' also. Was he connected to the shop that, in the 1960s was Boots the Chemist?
I'd be very grateful if anyone could shed any light on their background, family, etc.
Thank you,
Neil
