Not sure about notability of this local historian. The strongest sources are seven references in local papers (6 in The Echo, one in the Leigh Times). Whilst definitely not nothing, I am wondering if this takes him over WP:ROUTINE. I have looked for other sources and can't find them; can't find any reviews of his books.
