OK. Thanks at least for enquiring, and this is all a bit of clutching at straws. I thought ER for royalty, and looked for a name ending with that with Manchester connection. I found there has been a Foster with Man. Utd., (presently on loan to Watford) so tried that, and thought :
FOS sounds like FOSSE which is a ditch. A Fossette is a small hollow, so not too unreasonable.
Then there was mention Wigan to Oldham, Bury to Stockport. A line W to O and another B to S makes a sort of letter T, and finally ER.
Just an idea. I expect the odds on winning the Euro Lottery are better than this one.
