Hi again, holiday over back to chilly England.
As promised I`ve just spoken to my uncle,(*), who still lives in Halton village. He tells me that he knew the Greenwood family but they lived in Halton Station House not Norton which is at the other end of the tunnel.He also remembers the primroses,
(*) was Stationmaster and Goods Agent at Halton but did carry out some duties at Norton so my uncle remembers meeting him. If he is still alive (*) would be 90ish. My uncle also remembers Mrs. Greenwood and (*) being nurses.My uncle thinks that the Greenwoods moved to Ellesmere Port.
Now when you mentioned your Savage connections and ICI it rang a bell with me. Another uncle (*) worked at ICI for many years but developed breathing problems due to exposure to chemicals.My uncle (*) remembers a Savage who lived in Halton and thinks he was in the building trade.
My BATE[not BATES] family lived in Rows Cottages, Halton in1881, then at Halton Brow before moving down to Norton Station where my grandparents lived until the station closed in 1952. They then returned to Halton where my uncle still lives.
Hope this info is of interest to you,not sure if it will help much with your family history research but every discovery adds colour to the picture.
Cyndy
