Page 288 - Just another English family (Sep 2019)

Certainly in the 2002-03 Electoral Roll Julie D Soothill (but Michael’s wife is ‘Julie S.’?) is shown as living in the same household as Andrew J Pearson, while Michael P is shown on the 2003-09 Electoral Rolls as living in the household with an older woman named as Patricia M Soothill. It is tempting to assume that this is his widowed mother (although I thought her middle initial was ‘E’ derived from Patricia E (née Woodward). Patricia’s husband, Derrick Luther, is recorded as dying in 2002, but there is a curious entry in the Electoral Roll of Patricia E Soothill living with Derrick Soothill in 2010.
Derrick and Patricia who were married in Bradford in 1954 had – apart from Michael – another child, Helen in 1955, so presumably Michael and Helen are twins. Anyway, Helen seems to have married in Bradford in May 1989 to a man called Priestley, so Helen is unlikely to be appearing in the 2011 census under her maiden name.
