      Most probably Newton Heath, as both births on either side are from there.
  He died about 1957.³
  Lilly Ann Marsland Fidler
  Lilly was born in 1888 in Glasgow.³
  - Birth Notes
    - If age at death is correct, then Lily was born in 1883.
      However, she was 13 in 1901 census, so born 1887/8.
      
      Sue’s Nana was a very strong character. A lady from Glasgow. Sue remembers once asking her nana when her birthday was, and she said she could not remember. Sue said look on your birth certificate, but her reply was she never had one as her parents could not afford such things. Her gravestone does not record her date of birth.
  She died at the age of 79 in October 1967 in Manchester.⁴
  - Death Notes
    - Lily died when Sue Doxey was about 15, so about 1968.
      
      Can't find any record for 1968 or 1969 in the Death Index, but have
      "Lidith A Doxey" Manchester, Age 84 for Q4-1967.
