Widnes Memories: Sandie's search for First World War soldiers
CAN you help? Widnesian Sandie Hayes is currently researching the eight men of Cronton who gave their lives in the Great War. Nearly all the names appear on the memorial at St Luke's Church, Farnworth.
The eight are: Alexander Glover, William Webster, Arthur Houghton, William Norris, Harold Taylor, Thomas Hesketh, Enoch Pitt and Charles Wright.
Sandie says she cannot find anything that links Private Charles Wright to Cronton, although she has discovered he lived in Huyton and is buried in Widnes.
"Is there anyone living in the borough who is descended from any of these men?' Sandie asks.
"Only two of them married but all had siblings so may have great, great nieces and nephews in the area."
She also has census returns but no personal stories.
Sandie can be contacted on 0151 495 2536 or at cronton8@hotmail. co.uk
