Hi Steven,  My great grandad was David Varey and he was married to Margaret Monks. He had three sons, James, ( my grandad), John, and Tom. Tom was the only one not to have any children of his own.  My dad, was also called David and he had six sisters. My Dad's mum was Christina Knowles from Lancaster and she married James Varey.

Hi Steve,

I am unable to reply to your PM just yet as I am new to the site, I have to make 3 posts, so one more and I'll be ok to talk via PM.

The only photographs that I have are of my dad David Varey and some of his sisters. If you would like to exchange contact details some time in a private message,we could perhaps exchange information about what we know and want to know.

Thanks,

Andy.

It could be quite interesting as my Dad always wondered what happened to his Uncle John's lot, although he always knew they were in Wigan.
