Mr Alf Tootill, late of Bury but now living in New Zealand seeks news of his uncle, Harry Tootill who is 89 if still alive. Harry once lived in Pine Street Bury, but moved to Brighton.

He was later reported to have gone back up north. Mr Alf Tootill, on a UK visit, traced a Harry Tootill to 1 Harold Street, Prestwich, but was unable to contact him.

He would like to now if the Prestwich Harry Tootill was his uncle, and if so what has become of him.

He would also like to get hold of a copy of The Story of Cocky Moor, Otherwise Ainsworth by the Rev K.P. Bullock, published 1973. He is willing to pay all reasonable costs. Alf Tootill's e-mail address is: alf.toots. @ .inspire.net.nz.
