OK, I don’t know Iris’s family so I can’t give any confirmations in that respect, she was a friend of my family, more my father. I last saw Iris back in the eights and want to be able to talk to her again. If this is the same lady she will remember my father Alan, if you could ask for me?

Iris Preston(Wilding)used to live in the flat above me-believe she is still in the Ormerod St area.
Her daughter can still be seen in or around the local pubs on B'burn Rd.
Last I heard Iris was due to have a hip Op.in Burnley.

I see Iris around Accrington occasionally.
She doesn't keep very good health these days.
I don't know if you know it but she lost her husband about 5-6 years ago. If I see her would you like me to pass a message on to her?

Regards
Christine

Sorry Cashy, thanks for enquiring for me and thank you everybody who’s posted. I do have a contact number and I will give Iris a ring as soon as I can without being interrupted by work. If any one does see her before I ring her please feel free to let her know that Malcolm, Alan Douglas’s lad was asking about her. It might be a lesser surprise that way, that’s if she remembers me at all.
