She and my grandmother were split up when their mother Margaret Clarke nee Williams, died at the age of twenty nine. Lilian Mary Clarke my grandma was only eighteen months old and she went to give with her maternal grandmother Cecelia Williams, but Edith being a little older went to live with her uncle Charles and his wife Emma. She eventually went to live in Devon and married Francis Daws who was born in Bideford. They had a son Henry J Daws around 1900 and they were living in South Coker near Yeovil in 1901. I would appreciate any information as I have no idea if they had any more children or if there are any of the family still living in that area at all. I believe they may have been drapers and that is a common trade amongst my ancestors.
