Pollypoppet, I'm afraid that your's is not the one, the one that AlanOnTheWirral gave for the 1901 is what we have. I'm trying to find what info I can on her ancestors and siblings. (bad transcription, should be Brass Dresser, he died later of lung disease) he was my maternal grandfather.

Alan,

You are a gem, I can remember being at my grandmothers one day years ago and she showed me a photo (all in old style clothes) of the James side of the family and pointed to two of the people in the photo and said 'this is our Sarah and this is our John'. Of course when she showed me the photo all those years ago I didn't think I'd be needing the information it contained, nobody knows where the photo went.
