Hi jim

Thankyou so much for looking all that up for me.

I expect William stayed there too

Most interesting Idon't suppose you remember what Thomas' occupation was do you.

Don't worry if you don't know.

Thankyou again so much

Elizabeth, on the 1901 England Census, Elizabeth Everett was listed as a boarder, widowed not servant (my mistake). Perhaps, Elizabeth is the grandmother to James Everett, married to Effie Merritt??? Or it could just be a coincidence.
