Member Since: April 2003 Posts: 1 Send Message	Hello, Could anyone with information on the Prestons in and around the Blackpool area get in touch. I am especially looking for any family connected to William Preston (Bill), who had a wife, Alice, and three sons, Alan, Kenneth, and William. I believe that they owned a butcher shop in Blackpool until William (my great grandfather) was called-up in WWII. He was a para and met his end in the skies over Arnhem. Please get in touch if you could add anything to this story, Thanks. Stuart Preston.
