In 1950 and 1951 my grandmother, born in PENDLETON Salford in 1877,
had
holidays in the Colwyn Bay area with a friend I believe was a Mrs. Mather.
Gran's grandmother was a Mather but her husband born in Newton Heath in 1877
also had Mathers in his family, so you can see my dilemma. I have no
first names
to go on, so can anyone tell me if there are any MIs on records I can look at
for Colwyn Bay? I have checked with Colwyn Bay Library Local History Dept but
they have nothing. What is my next step please?

I'm surprised that the Colwyn Bay Library Local History Dept didn't
suggest trawling through the electoral rolls for the area. This would
be rather tedious and time-consuming but at least you're not looking
for a common surname. The electoral rolls should be available at your
local record office.
