FARNWORTH GRAMMAR SCHOOL WRINKLIES SITE:
This website won't try to sell you anything. It's simply an attempt to record memories of life at a small grammar school in the north-west of England, fifty years ago and more. Everything here has been sent in by ex-pupils, most of whom still feel warm affection for the school and its legacy, together with genuine regret that the place no longer exists — it was closed in the early 1980s and demolished in 1988. Link kindly sent by Keith Seddon : http://www.fgs.utvinternet.co.uk/
LIFETIMES GALLERY:

RESEARCHING FAMILY HISTORY
For newcomers to genealogy it can be difficult to find out what information is available to them and where to look for it. Suzanne Brown has been involved in the development of a reference type web site www.ancestor-search.info aimed principally at guiding newcomers to genealogy on WHERE to seek information on their English and Welsh ancestors in a systematic structured way.
