James Leigh
I have been scanning my old tatty copy of Gleams OF Sunshine by James Leigh,alas it is on its last legs so before the pages start falling out I have decided to scan it all. I will then do what I can to make it last that bit longer.
I thought I'd show you the list of subscribers all of which pledged their support to get the book published. I found the list with names and addresses most interesting. Hopefully you might spot a familiar name or address.
If you don't have a copy of this book you can download a copy or read it on line here

Interesting, some of the names known to us ie: Winterbottom and Fred Holt was my Dad's uncle also Harry Dennerley. Squire Fawley my husband Colin Ridgway remembers in Newton and also James Ridgway. Jacqueline Ridgway(nee Holt).
