Hope/Kershaw

I am looking for anyone that has a connection to Esther Hannah Hope, born 1894 Clayton Le Moors, Lancs. aged 6 living with parents and siblings - 13 Cross Edge, Oswaldtwistle, Lancs.

Parents are Hartley Hope and Elizabeth Whittaker.

Siblings are John(1889), Elizabeth (1890), Amelia (1893), Clara (1897), Sarah (1898)

Esther married Charles W Kershaw in 1915 and had a child Rowland Kershaw in 1916.

Charles died in 1917 and Rowland was brought up by his Auntie Minnie (possibly Amelia) In Accrington, Minnie and her sister (??) lived in Accrington until about 15??years ago. They did have children.

I am trying to find out what happened to Esther and would like any information on her siblings and their descendants.

I have some information that Esther may have remarried a Samuel Edwards in 1921(unsure if this is her though), If it is I would like to know if there where any children from this marriage.

Please can anyone help!!!!

Just a quick update

Charles was living at 31 Eagle Street, Accrington with Minnie and William Nadin. Winnie and William lived here until around 1920?

any information would be greatly appreciated

i find this very uncanny as 31 Eagle St Accrington was purchased by me in 1964,I will endeavour to look at the deeds to the property,but at that time most houses were rented. The tennants may be listed.
