Interesting that the Warnford Terrace address was still associated with the family in 1934.

5 years later a Webster family are living there

By December 1921 Samuel Sissons of 8 Warnford Terrace was an impecunious newsvendor.  He “sobbed” in Hull Police Court when ordered by the magistrates to pay 7s 6d for the maintenance of the two children of Mary Jane Olsen.

Samuel had cohabited with Mary Jane for nine years - “ I respected her as my wife until ten days ago”.  There are references to a lawful wife and three children who had run away from him “about three years ago”. (It is not made clear what had become of his wife).

He said he would try to pay 2s 6d each for his two children with Mary Jane.

Hull Daily Mail, 28 December 1921.

Maybe quicker this time Carol, but not always.... at least we are both singing off the same hymn sheet

Electoral rolls show Samuel Sissons at 8 Warneford Terrace, Stanley St, until at least 1931.

I am hoping I am writing to everyone that has written e.g. Jools, avm etc. I am really struggling trying  to quickly find out how to reply - and I am so grateful to you all for your help. I did find out about Fegans because I found out that he had become a Fegans boy - yes sent to Fegans via Linneaus Street Children's home. Left in 1932 and returned in 1934. His brother, was James William, two years younger, but he did not go to Canada.

Thank you so much for all your help and anything else will be appreciated
