Facebook has become a useful tool in finding family.  I was on the Newton le Willows page on there and someone posted "Where were your Earlestown family in 1911".  I responded Viaduct Street and Bank Street and put the names Stokes and Peters.  A day later someone posted Broster, Viaduct Street.  This rang a bell because my dad Tommy Stokes was living with the Broster family in Viaduct Street in 1911, so I left a post and lo and behold two ladies got back to me, two sisters, Sue and Diane, their dad was a descendant of Jane Broster, they didn't think they had any relatives in Newton.  So now we are all delighted to have "found" each other and I am looking forward to meeting up with them in the future to exchange photos.
