Well, I found one of the names mentioned in the article in the electoral rolls (2002-2009) on Findmypast in Wales. There is a birth and marriage listed as well.
Maybe a relative will claim the suitcase and keep those lovely photos or forward them on to any
children of the marriage.

Have done so. Hopefully, it will  help track down the family.

The website took too long to load, but I bet that one of the surnames would be Butterworth.  I think nearly all Rochdalians have a Butterworth somewhere in their tree. (That's assuming the photos were Rochdale-based.)

I do, too, Carol, and I bet most people on here agree, but sadly there are a lot of people who would throw these things away as so much rubbish.

I agree and the most annoying thing is that those of us who would love to have that happen to us, it never does.
