Hello,
I am just beginning my search into my family tree and reading your posts has been amazing.
Tom Knowles is my Great Grandfather - married to Hilda Hayward.
They had 4 children and my Grandmother was Hilda Brown (nee. Knowles.)
She married Harold Brown & had one son, Alan,my Dad! Still Stoke-on-Trent based.
Any further information/advice gratefully received.
Claire

Hi Claire,

How amazing . I had only said to my brother yesterday that it is such a shame that we know nothing about Grandfather’s brother Tom and that I was sure the family could be in the Potteries.

You will have seen the messages from Carolyn in Canada and I have been in touch with the descendants of Frederick Gibson in Iowa. (Uncle to your Tom).
I have lots of info on the Knowles history which I would be happy to share and would love to hear what happened to Tom after he, William and Martha were left with cousins in Stoke.

My email is vivienne.dixon@sky.com
