Brian Harper from Port Macquarie, NSW, Australia, writes: I am trying to find John and Barbara Heywood, their last know address was in Westleigh around 1978, when I called to see them while visiting the UK.

John will be about 78 now, the same age as me, and his wife Barbara (nee Marsh) in her late 60s.

I am not sure if they had any children.

John came from Sale Lane, Tyldesley/Mosley Common, and Barbara from Atherton, which is where I lived.

We were Engineering Apprentices at De Havilland Propellers Lostock from 1954 to 1959, and both studied Mechanical Engineering at Leigh Technical College during that time.

If anyone knows them or knows of them, please contact me.
