Footnote :- Frances's life must have been quite hard. Her first husband William Waring was not a nice man and spent time in and out of prison. This left Frances in desparate straights and she was in and out of the workhouse. Her third child Nellie was born and died in the workhouse. William redeeming factor is the fact that he did enlist for the first world war where he substained injuries that led to his death in 1914.

I now believe that Edward James Gould, who was Frances's second partner and father of four of her eight children, was the brother of Eliza Emily Gould, the wife of Frances's younger brother Frederick Robert Curness.

I have been told that she did however enjoy a drink or two and liked a sing song in her local pub. This indicates to me that she got on with life despite what it had thrown at her.
