Looking for lost family members and my father
 

I am looking for my father Alan Douglas.

I have changed the content of the original thread as I have received confirmation that my father passed in the April of 1998 at the age of 66. My father passed away in Burnley General. I would like to those that have contacted me privately on this matter and for their efforts and assistance, I will always be grateful.

Hi Simon,

No problem… it’s been 35 years almost and it’s a lot to ask.

The Fred Sylvester – The younger one, should remember me if you see him when you drop the kids off at school.

I was a game for anything and was always in the thick of it. Fred, Tony and Butch were the ones I mixed with mainly. I wore glass and had almost back uncontrollable hair. We had the pen at the side of our house.

I remember two lads that lived on Brocklehurst (Carmichael… I think) they live right opposite Crosley. We had friends with the kids that live in the back corner of Crosley, on the top Left, but I don’t recall there names.

Thanks anyway, all the best and give them my regards anyway.

Doug.
