I have been sent six photo's from a relative in America and wonder how we can identify the people, I have a suspicion they are members of a Man(n)ion family because my grt Uncle and his family went to USA in 1881and his wife Catherine nee Man(n)ion was born St Helens info from census. There are quite a number with this name in records so wondered if a Warrington newspaper maybe my port of call.

Catherines parents Martin Manion and Winifred nee Cogan

Any suggestions appreciated.
Thanks

Ooops adj mothers name should have been Winifred Cogan not Bridget.

Our local paper runs many a story about unknown photographs of people and places possibly local to the area. I would say getting in touch with a Warrington paper would be a positive move.jle

Google the Warrington Guardian for your info. Sure they will be interested.

Mannion is quite a common name in warrington (usually called "Wilf" after the old footballer.


Happy days
