hi I cannot access the user name Ferranti so I am using outlook.  as I have stated I believe my grand father was josh young.  when I started work at 15 in 1957 at Ferranti eng. as a sheet metal worker there where some men who had been former miners one was jack west who came up to me and said your josh youngs grandson I used to work with your grandad at the oak pit. my grandmother betty had a fish and chip on hollins rd my grandfather died first when my grandmother died my father david went to live with my uncle Joshua/jack and my auntie annie on limeside .    also living on limeside was a david young who had a daughter called mary who my father always used to refer to as cousin mary I believe he was josh youngs brother.   in the early sixties I used to take my father david and my mother elsie to a terraced house on the Liverpool rd Hindley who I believed lived a cousin of my father we would have a drink at a pub I think was called bird in the hand then I would go on to central park then come back and pick them up hope this helps.     graham lyson
