Hi again Millie,

Now that Reg has established that Hester's mother was Ann, the following
is a possible Census entry for her and some children. The census images
shows that Ann has a son Arthur aged 15 who is a coal miner, so it is
quite likely that this is the right family. No sign of Arthur senior so
it is possible Ann is a widow.

I will send image offlist.

Cheers
Dallas
