I believe that Willy was my great uncle…he was born to Edward Thomas Astbury and Mary Jane Harrison in Syracuse….my grandfather was the brother Edward Thomas (Tom) born in Syracuse …William was not talked about in the family because of his disgrace I’ve never heard of a sister but families are strange perhaps she supported William and was therefore rejected by the family. Mary Jane was a very strict Catholic and a stern mother in law and grandmother. The family moved back to England as Edward senior had potters lung (probably pulmonary fibrosis) he was told to go to the west coast of Lancashire or California…England was cheaper …he loved in a boarding house in Blackpool and Mary Jane and Edward junior lived in Manchester running a stationery shop…..
