Sorry Kim, I wish I could help. I hope you managed to find some info.

Re The grandchildren of Kate Lovell (The lady with the flower basket) who’s son was John LOVELL, father of Pheobie, Lizzie, John jr, Millie, Albert aka Bronc; I attach a couple of photos of him. One walking with Maud (I’m pretty certain) Maud was mother to Millie and Bronc. Another photo has handwriting on it. I recognise Millie and could possibly be around the Lorraine Gardens area as I think that’s where they all lived when she was very young.
I came across some newspaper articles online mentioning petty offences, lots of Lovell boys mentioned 😂 but was dated 1900 /01 and puts them all living in William Street, which we know was where a lot of them lived before it was demolished. I’m sure my Nan (Millie) told me she shared a tiny house in William Street with her aunt Kate for a short while when she first married my grandad.
As you say, Maud was unfortunately, not always present and would take off for periods of time leaving John to raise the children. Millie made a connection in Manchester with a man called Ernest who was related to Maud! Could this be where she used to go? It’s possible she has family there.
I am blown away with your finding a link to Hazeikia back in 1775!

Hope all is well and good.
