Hello, i am a relation of James (above)

Just to clarify my grandma was his mother's sister. She was not called clair betty though. She was called Lucy Elizabeth

Some great confusion as she had been called Betty and "lil Bet" since almost birth so many people struggle to remember her real name.

Also there was another brother called James Tinker but he died in the 2nd world war.

The father of these aforementioned children was James Tinker as above stated. His father was also a James Tinker, born 1849 in Lincolnshire. He married a woman called Elizabeth Easy. Haven't found any manchester ancestors as of yet, but we haven't got far down the line on that side im afraid.
