In 1901 Fanny Wilcock (nee Mary Ann Williamson) was at 51 the widowed head of her family, a Confectioner (Shopkeeper), at 86 Great Ancoats Street, Manchester. Also with her was her nephew, Robert Wilcock, aged 10, born Manchester, of whom I have no other information.
Fanny's late husband Thomas Wilcock had a sister Hannah who married Albert Clegg; they had two children, neither being called Robert; and a brother John who died in 1856.
Thomas and Fanny had six offspring, only one of whom, Amanda Wilcock born 1875, and died a spinster in 1938, could be a candidate for the mother, if the description of Robert as nephew really meant great nephew.
There are several Robert Wilcocks in the 1911, none born Manchester, and I cannot find a death that fits the bill.
Anyone got any other ideas?
