No relation, I've been asked that twice today! My maiden name is Renton. All Accringtonians. My late hubby was a Bolton Shanks.

Re: Newbie
Thank you, they are all family, my Grandad was Richard Renton, my dad was William, but not the one you mention. Dad was in the airforce, maintenance crew on spits. They lived on Union Street I think, Then dad lived on St James Street.

Re: Newbie
Thank you again. I didnt know about William and James being my Great Uncles, also haven't heard of George and Tom, nor Thomas Howard. You are very knowledgeable. My guess is you are an expert on Accy Pals. Anyway, Thanks again for the information. I will pass it on to my two brothers [twins]
