General Notes
- Edmund Eddowes (1832-1868) had 4 children; Sarah, Edmund, John and Lucy. The family moved from Wrexham to Birkenhead about 1858, so Lucy was born in Birkenhead in 1863. Lucy married William Hughes in 1879 when she was only 16 (and probably lied about her age as girls do!), and soon had baby Mary Jane in 1880.
  
  Lucy and family where sharing a house in Birkenhead with her older sister Sarah Wood (nee Eddowes) in early 1881 but Lucy died soon after in summer.
  
  Mary Jane (her daughter) was probably brought up by her uncle Edmund (and his wife Hannah) who she was with in 1891. Mary Jane married Owen Stanton in 1897, and in 1901 uncle Edmund died. Hannah then came to stay with the Stanton family (in 1901), till she also died in 1906.
