I WONDER if you could help me.

I am trying to find out the history of our house in Derby Road, Urmston.

I have on several occasions tried to research the house's history by using the Local History archives kept at Sale library.

This has been of some use and I have found out some useful details.

I have even read several years worth of "The Western Telegraph", which I believe was a precursor to your pubication.

I would like to get in touch with anyone who has old photographs of Derby Road and in particular our own house.

Therefore I wonder if there are any relations of Finlay McCulloch, Mrs Harriet V Walker, Mr Clarence Jepson or Edwin and Elizabeth Branker all of whom have lived in our house during the past hundred years.

Any information on the house's history would be very welcome and appreciated.

Yours in hope and appreciation.
