Re: John Jacques
John Jacques was my cousin. He lived on Ramsbottom St with William his father, Dora his mother and his sister Barbara. William and his brother Bert worked in their father's bespoke tailors shop on Blackburn Rd. When their father died they sold the business to John Colliers Tailors. After this they moved to Downham, Clitheroe. Both John and his sister became teachers after going to Durham University. John married and lived in Northallerton and Barbara married in lives in Kirkham. John married Kate and after they divorced he married Sue. Barbara married Eric Wolstenholme - I was a bridesmaid. John sadly died 2 or 3 years ago in Corfu, to where they had retired. I always kept in touch with him and am still in touch with Barbara and Eric.
