I am looking for family of my Dad. George Stringer. The Stringers lived in the All Saints area. They were connected with the Prince's Theatre, before, and during the war, and other properties, in the area. My Dad had three brothers, John, Billy and Sam, and five sisters, Frorrie, Amy, Bertha, Katy and ??. I am trying to build a family tree. It would be good, if I could meet any family also.

   The last time I visited my family in Crumpsall, Manchester most of the people I know spoke about the unsavory characters running the cafe on Lansdowne Road. Rarely did you see anybody from the local community going into the cafe. What people did see was the same small group of Albanian men standing outside the place at all hours of the day. Yet the place appeared to survive despite the absence of customers. These are the same men who have threatened locals in the betting shop on the same row. They are also the same men that locals saw in the betting shop when a masked robber suddenly rushed in among them with a hammer and stole between 1000 to 2000 pounds from the premises. They are also the same men that are suspected of kicking to death a man with whom they had an argument in a local pub. The Police in Manchester were informed of the local peopleb^TMs concerns last year. An officer at one of the stations patronized the caller and told him that it was all just hearsay. What is evident is Crumpsall has gone to the dogs, and the overworked police are losing a battle to maintain the trust and respect of locals who feel alienated within their own community. It saddens me to return and hear how my friends and family feel about the place.

   Some years ago I ran support groups for allergic children and adults and since moving to New Zealand, I would love to hear news of anyone who belonged to any of my groups. E-mail: joycewindsor@hotmail.com
