Has Adelaide down as a Housewife.

No, I had not looked at the census; I am ignorant of these things!

I'm a bit confused and will have to confir with my sister. I had no idea that Adelaide's husband, William, came to the US. Now we had an "Uncle Will" on Adelaide's side who emigrated to Fall River, MA - or that's the way the family history went. Florence was my mother's mother who died in Clayton around 1926 from a fall down the steps. My mother was five years old. Elsie was my aunt (or great aunt) who married a chemist, and they lived in Prestwich near Manchester. Her husband, Uncle Jack Roberts, was the chief chemist at Strangeways Prison. Their daughter was Christine who lived in Clitheroe and who I mentioned in one of my earlier posts. I think there's a link between the one who came to Fall River, MA and William Clifford Birtwell who you can read about in Famous Accringtonians. Cousin Clifford invented the first artifical heart. I may have posted under the nick, Steerforth, but I can't resurrect that account for some reason. I thought Grandpa Knight (Adelaide's husband) died in the 1920s in Clayton. I'll check on it.
