Mabel married Frank Gallacher & had one son Kenneth. I used to visit Auntie Mabel as a child. She lived at 689 Ashton New Road, Clayton (the family home). She was a lovely lady, very short & round. She lived to be over 100 & received a telegram from the Queen. Her son, Ken, still lives in Manchester but has no family photographs to share.
