I notice you mention Jimmy Hannigan, the Hannigan family were cousins of my Dad. I have a Wedding photo of my Mum & Dad with his Best Man who I was told is a John or Jimmy Hannigan. ASs Mum and Dad have long since passed away....I would love to know what his name is....photo taken in 1940 at St Laurence's Church.Birkenhead.
Any one who knew the Hannigan Family would you take a look and confirm is he John or Jimmy?
Thanks a million

Hi Geoff,
Maybe not....that would be too young for it to be Dads cousin and Best Man. Its such a fab photo, in fact there are several with John or Jimmy on them.I dont know if the Hannigan guy ever married.
Just thought Id ask out and see if anyone could solve the mystery or maybe wants to see the photo. Thanks Geoff.

Thankyou for that information. I have loved looking at these photographs.As I've written before,I didn't know part of my family came from the area. It's great to be able to see it.

Old post I know but I lived at no 36 and remember your family. Have lived out of the UK for a long while. Came back to visit last year, Banning Street gone, St Laurence's school and church gone and also St Winifred's school gone. Nothing left of the 21 years I lived in Birkenhead.

Billy Weaver was a friend of mine and he used to take bets in the sweet shop/cafe his Mum had in Exmouth st but he was a bookies runner and became a bookmaker when he opened a betting office in Tranmere. I remember Bert Ashman well as he was a customer in the Lord Exmouth where I lived.

There's a real danger that the left will drag Britain back to the 1970s, with secure well-paid jobs, ample housing, properly-funded NHS and social care, free tuition, student grants, final salary pensions, affordable rail fares and fabulous films and music.
