Yes. They have cost me a fortune over the years, mainly through my own curiosity. |

I guess the best bet is to send for the full Will and see if it makes mention as to 'how' Mary Ann Pilkington fits with the family |

Tell me about it. I had wondered whether she was farmed out to another family & grew up with their surname. |

No I couldn't either but then she could be hidden away in a convent school or somewhere. People were quite good at hiding their mistakes. |

Could well have been Gins although that would make her far too old to be the lady I remember. She was still fit & active in the late 1960s & I´m fairly sure she didn´t die until the early 1980s. |

Clutching at straws here I wonder if this is her death. |
