     This laid the 'ghost' of a childhood memory - when I was very small I overheard my grandfather, John Bull, mention "Uncle Bill Snape" in conversation with my parents - I had thought he'd said "Uncle Bill Snake" and so that became a bit of a family joke with my Mam & Dad.

I now believe that it was John Bull's Aunt Jane Snape (nee HAMMERSLEY) who sent him the letter (noted in my TMG data set), from 23 Snowden Road, Eccles, wishing him well for his marriage in October 1903 - I have the original letter which I previously thought was signed "Aunt Hamm…" which I had interpreted as "Aunt Hammersley" but I can now see that it could equally be read as "Aunt Jane". Elsewhere in the letter she refers to herself and "Uncle Wills" - presumably referring to John's "Uncle Bill Snake".

Finally, I found William Snape and wife, Jane E, in the 1901 Census, living at 23 Snowden Road, Eccles !⁷
