Hi.
Sorry I've only just seen I had a reply to this post.
Wow... my mind is blown! So much more info than we had. I'm so glad you found this post Petra! Thankyou for sharing.
We don't have much info on Margaret... or know much about her...other than believing she was possibly a child that Lucy "took on" after her husband died.
Margaret lived at earnshaw place and my grandad said he they had 2 lodgers living there too.( which were the couple you mention above)
We have a postcard from my grandad Clarence which he sent to Margaret at the above adress while he was serving in the forces signing... with love, your big brother Clarence.
So believe they must have been close.
I remember finding a death cert for Margaret somewhere down south and beleive she had no children. I'm sure I also found a probate record for her too.
Back to clarences birth mother( who we belive to be berth jackson( nee bamford) I found her grave and visited it in Leeds. Buried with her husband Harry Jackson.
If anyone has any more info I would be very grateful.
Kate
