The donor was born in Sale Moor in 1937, the daughter of Stanley and Beatrice Brindley. Both her parents came from Hulme, Beatrice being called after the street where she was born in 1917, her husband was born a year earlier. Stanley was working for Seymour Meads in Sale Moor when he married in 1936, his wife was a dressmaker. After serving in World War II, he returned to his original job but ill-health forced him to look for lighter work. He became a sales assistant for a Mr. Hood in Sale Moor. Beatrice was an only child. Her father Clement Hackney was born in Congleton in 1890. He married Phoebe Bradley, 12 years his senior in 1913. Phoebe was the oldest of 15 children, her mother dying at the last birth. She had to look after the family and work in a mill in Macclesfield to supplement the family income. She was unable to marry until her mid. 30s. Clement worked at Cammel Lairds but after being made redundant he found work as a paint sprayer for a firm in Sale Moor. He moved his family into the area. The donor has a son and daughter.
