Hi daftcockers

Welcome to rootschat  :)

Does the album give any clues to Mary's family, address or anything else about her.

I wonder if it is worth asking for an electoral register look up for around the time she was living there, it might give a clue to the family names involved.

There's a good chance there are relatives or friends still live in the area even if Mary moved away).  Why not try the local papers (www.leighjournal.co.uk perhaps? ) - they may be quite happy to put something in for you as a local interest story.
