Hi Sandra

Possible son John Maddox, b 1887, Knockin, is on 1921 census with Elizabeth Jane & Georgina, living in Kinnerley, Oswestry.

He married Elizabeth J. Youens, Oswestry, 1918

https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:26J7-FHL

Georgina born Oswestry, 1920. Married an Ernest E Williams, Oswestry, 1937

Looks like 6 children from the marriage.

Of the 3 Williams sons, one died in 1988, but cannot find a death for the other 2. Did not check the 3 daughters.

Thank you Kloumann.  I did send a message to a relative living in Shropshire yesterday so am waiting to see if there may be a response.  Fingers crossed.  :)
