Family tree

[Ann-Marie]

A friend of mine is currently tracing back her family tree. I was wondering if any of you out there may be able to help.

Her Grandad, Dan Young, was Bandmaster and Conductor at Stacksteads Prize Band during 1950's/60's. He was also involved over the years with Whitworth Vale and Healey Band and Goodshaw Band.

Do any of you (or any relatives) have any old photos or any memories of Dan that I could pass onto her.

I know its a long shot, but I know what a helpful and resourceful bunch you are

Thanks!
Ann-Marie

Stacksteads is just outside Bacup Centre
Whitworth Vale and Healey - between Bacup and Rochdale
Goodshaw - between Rawtenstall and Burnley

Get in those attics!!!
