Thank you, Grandson Evan John born 1890 out of wedlock, Laura's son. The story goes she was working in a large house, was taken advantage of. Anymore info would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Ohh not a happy story..unfortunately since she is not working there for the census I cannot tell u any more...would have been good if she had been there for the census and u could have seen who was there! ..Here is the 1851 census which confirms that John and William were Brothers as I expected they would b  and gets u back another generation as well

Anyone with access to the 1881 census returns for Laura Knowles and family, would be interesting to know her mothers name.
