I am trying to trace anyone in the Bolton area, who may have any recollections of my Grandmother, or her family. The facts are as follows:

She was born in 1916, and named Hannah Tankard. She gave birth to my father in August 1935, in Cyril Street, Bolton, aged only 19. The following month, 23 September 1935, she married my grandfather, Alfred Robinson, who was a professional footballer, playing for Bolton Wanderers. At the time she lived with her family in Cemetry Road, Bolton. The witnesses at the wedding were Fred and Hannah Tankard (I beleive possibly her mother and brother). Her father was Joseph Tankard, and he was a Leather Worker.

Unfortunately, she died in the following year (1936) aged only 20. My father was then raised by his paternal grandparents in the North East, and all contact with his maternal family was lost, as he was only one year old when his mother died.

My father vaguely recollects cousins being mentioned named Eunice and Constance, and also possibly a Uncle Harry that was in the Police Force. He thinks there may also be a connection with Birkenhead.

We would dearly like some information about Hannah Robinson (nee Tankard), and specifically would like to trace a photograph of her, as my father has no idea what his mother looked like. If you could help, I would be extremely grateful.
