She was alive around 1975 do not know when died but probably after my Grandad died because he would have told me .
He died in his back yard having fallen in the snow and could not get up he was 89 and laid there for 2 hours before next door heard him shouting and died in hospital a couple of days later without coming round

So Fred died in 1952 and the lady Maggie was owner of the house and my Aunty was a lodger.

Hilda was Peter Atkinson daughter and that now all fits together

Those aeroplanes were made by Fred

I have been confused by all of this for 20 years

Many thanks David Albert Riley

I would try to see Elsie's sibs.
I could use
https://www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/certificates/Login.asp
but searching's a pain as I can only do 5 y and one sex at a time.
If the local index has the surname listed, then it's much easier there.
See https://www.ukbmd.org.uk/local_bmd
In particular here (thru 1950 for Wigan & Leigh, Blackpool, Burnley, Blackburn))

Now I knpw the church, I can go to
https://www.lan-opc.org.uk/
and lookup the transcripts for Christ Church, Ince, and St. James, Poolstock in Wigan,
and check the father's name (as a partial check I've got the right marr)
Note that Nellie and Elsie are witnesses on the others marr -
one wonders if the some connection between Nellie's hubby David Sharrock, and Albert Riley's mum.

Now the easiest way to find kids from 1911q3 on is to use
https://www.freebmd.org.uk/cgi/search.pl

The easiest way to find births in Wigan, (plus Ince after Wigan was split in 1936) is to select Wigan, then hold down the ctrl key and select Ince,
then search for Atkinson. When the list is shown, hold down the ctrl key and type f (to open the find box), and find the spouse's surnames.
I can repeat this, but after an initial search for mothers named Atkinson

Seeing as it's Wigan, I can check cemetery records.

I find no trace of Richard Atkinson after 1911 - perhaps he was killed in WW1 - thousands of Atkinsons were - see CWGC site.
