    My Grandad was the eldest boy in the family, I have an original newspaper cutting of the article kept by their Mother along with other memorabilia. I would like to contact T.Douglas, whom I remember visiting my mum and grandad as a child with his parents.

    Hi. I run the Facebook page, ‘Friends of Brinscall and Withnell Villages’. As the Dixon lived close to our village, Mary and Terry, would you be happy for me to share your photos and information with our followers? If you look at the site, I write weekly history pieces and would like to include a piece on the Dixon family.
