William, born in Manchester, and Violet, born in Easington, Durham, had actually met. Anyway, of these, only Arthur and William had children.
Arthur and Gertrude produced Shirley P. (b.1955). Meanwhile, William and Violet had two children – Margaret J. (b.1942) and William Graham (1944-1991). Margaret married Raymond March in York in 1963, while William Graham married Annette Clark (b.1940), also in York in 1966. William Graham and Annette had two children – Darren William (b.1968) and Clare Michelle (b.1971).
These descendants from Joseph and Mary have maintained the link with Yorkshire. In fact, Frederick was a lodger in a Bradford household with his father and brother in the 1861 census and had become a boarder in a Bradford household in 1911. Frederick’s father, Joseph, was shown in 1861 as a stuff presser; Frederick was identified in the 1911 census as a brush maker but the context of this occupation is not clear and so it may be a rather a hand-to-mouth existence or a skilled craftsman.
