Thank you for all your replies.
I have got Henry's info from his war records.
He and his family came from, Cuerdley, Farnworth, Widnes areas.
His mother Theresa Taylor/ Stanley (never married) his father.
I have Mary 1881 Widnes
Maud 1887 Cuerdley.

Their mother was imprisoned for 18mths for GBH against her husband.
I am trying to find out what happened to his sisters.
Thank you
Sue
