Paging the St Helens residents ...

.... any of you chaps know of an area called Windle?

Specifically a road called "Highlands Brow"?

I'm tracking back me roots, and it seems I'm a closet Norvern Munkey.

Just had a look in my Murkeyside A-Z and there's no mention of a
"Highlands Brow"

Don't hang it too low or your cloth cap'll fall off.

 

Ah. I can see Windle Hall on't map.

Not in 1851 it wasn't. It were miner's cottages.

Three guesses where the *entire* family worked in 1871; 81; 91 and
1901.

They were big families, too.

I'm doing fine, apart from that - in 3 different census' it's down as
Highland; Highlands, and Islands.

Sounds a bit Jockish to me.

At least me mum's mum's side are all Kentish farm labourers.

Mum's great-grandad was a Pimlico rag and bone merchant.

Started of 'umble, and stayed there.

Ta very much.

I was thinking of getting some snaps if were passing, like.

 

Ooh. My great-great-great granny were a Kilshaw.

Small world, and all that.

Ta to you, and 'im.

 

It's *Lancashire*, thank you oh so very much.

'appen. (or is that Yorkshirespeak?)

 

Ecky Thump.

 

It doesn't get any lower, believe me.

St Helens is in Merseyside. You never know you might have some Scouse
in you )

Yorkshire I think.

 

No it fucking isn't.

Four grandparent's surnames: Lancashire, N Wales, W Wales and Norfolk.
FFS!

I'm going to have to kill you, now.

I hope you understand.

I do have to say that you northern chaps are sometimes proud of the
strangest things. Must be the water I suppose. I'd get it filtered if
I were you.

....like was once said of the River Plate in summer, "one inch deep, and a
mile wide at the mouth".

 

Wasn't Merseyside created by the councils in the 1970's? Up until that
point we were still classed as Lancashire [1] so you probably were too.

[1] Lancashire Life this month features my locality, so there. See, I
sed I wuzn't fibbing.
