Anne is probably right Margaret Anderson was most likely working there ..1901 census there is a Margaret Anderson aged 9 living with parent's Peter& Marion Anderson born 1892 Oldhamstocks living in Berwick ....You could maybe check the 1911 census

I have found the 1911 census for Mary she wasn't  at 22 Learmonth Terrace. She was in Garlochhead. Now looking for Margaret Anderson.

Long shot this. I am trying to pinpoint a William Renny Watson, born 1886 who in 1901 was a pupil at Ackworth Schol, Pontefract but was born in California. He died according to my information in the Cameroons of disease whilst serving in the Royal Navy - died 3.12.1918.

No trace on CWGC website.

In regards to Sir Renny Watson, I believe I've uncovered a important item of clothing that belonged to him - see attached images.
I'd like to see this item re-acquired by either descendants or as a protected historical item by any of the entities that he was involved with during his outstanding career.
