1 Information from Joan Shrewsbury
2 Margaret Swindale thought that Owen Roberts worked on the docks in Liverpool on a job that involved some sort of checking of goods.
3 Joan Shrewsbury recalls that her mother, Lily, told her that she was bridesmaid at Clara's wedding but went to the wrong church! A frantic rush ensued.
4 The year of birth in the 1939 register must be wrong since the BMD index register gives 1878. However Clara gives her year of birth as 1880 at the time of her baptism in 1900.
