The passage (which I condensed a little) brings a tear to my eye each time I read it. <br />Jay, a very kind reader, emailed me with some great links. We've discovered that Laura was born in 1906 and that at the time of the 1911 census she shared her home with 8 siblings (Molly wasn't born at this time).<br />As she lived locally I'm planning on a trip to her address to see if her home still stands, if it is I'll take a photo.<br />If I find out more I promise to share it.<br />Vix<br />xxxVixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05263970600699632661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4868048249049410936.post-4264764397618722132010-03-18T12:39:05.734+00:002010-03-18T12:39:05.734+00:00That's such an incredibly sad but beautiful st...That's such an incredibly sad but beautiful story.
