Is there anyone researching the Bissel or Bissell family that resided in Wigan around 1911.Although not directly related to me but a William Bissel or Bissell married my grandmother(Lily Fillingham b1891 Wigan) in 1911 but was killed at Gallipoli in 1915.They had 2 boys born in 1911 and 1914 and unfortunately the children died in 1914 and 1917 respectively.When married they lived at 5 Wigan Road Aspul.I think the Bissel(L) family originated from the West Midlands possibly Dudley.The family was in Wigan in 1901 but cannot find them prior to that.Any help would be appreciated.Below id the info on William Bissel(l).
Lance Corporal William Bissell of the 6th Batallion Loyal North Lancashire Regiment, service no 11498.  Died aged 26 9th August 1915.  Husband of Lily Robson (formerly Bissel), of 31 Duchess St, Bulwell, Nottingham

Hi there

I know its a long time since you posted on this subject but I am clutching at straws really as I cannot get past my grandfather in researching my family history.I know that my side of the Rolfe family moved from the main section of the Rolfe family that lived in Radford Nottingham about 1930 to live on Beckley Road Broxtowe when the council estate was built there.I am not even sure of my grandfathers first name but we think it was Frederick and he married my Grandmother Lily Hawkridge,not sure when and had 6 children,Robert,Doris,George,Joan,Ken and my father Dennis(Ken and Dennis were identical twins) and were born in 1926 to 1928.My Grandfather was much older(possibly20years older) than my Grandmother as he died around 1946/47 at the age of 65ish.Does any of the above ring any bells with your research.I thankyou in advance and also apologies if none of it makes sense.
