Death Notes
Still alive in 1911, aged 45
Dad remembers going to see his old Aunt Annie somewhere near Huddersfield maybe. Her lounge had several layers of thick carpets, because each time she bought a carpet, it got laid on top of the previous. She had her "Laying out gear" in a big cardboard box on top of the bedroom wardrobe! This may not be the same Annie.

General Notes
Known as Ellen or Nell or Nellie.
In 1871, Ann E (5) was living at 48 Brassey St., Birkenhead with both parents, sister Sarah (2) and two lodgers..
Ann (Ellen) had possibly left home by 1881 (aged 15) as missing from census, but may have been an omission, as I cant trace her anywhere else.
Ann Ellen had left home with sister Sarah to work as a servant for George and Rachael Dalby and family at 40 Mather Road, Claughton, Birkenhead in 1891. Pregnant, she married her first husband Tom Robinson, who was much older than her in Birkenhead, and moved to live in Rumworth, where son William was born 31-Jan 1892. This may have been a big family secret (as Aunt Norah recalled). They had returned to Birkenhead by 1901.
In 1901, living with William and two servants at 96 Greendale Road, New Ferry, Lower Bebington.
Married at least twice (3 times ?). Why did she marry Tom Robinson, a man almost twice her age in 1891? Perhaps it was a bit of a rush job.
In 1911, Ann Ellen and Ephriam Hopwood (45 & 51) were shopkeepers living at 74 Patten Street, Birkenhead with Edith and Florence (8 & 5)
My father (Walter Mather) remembers visiting his old and excentric aunt Annie somewhere near Huddersfield (after he was married I think). This may have been her.

GRO Reference: 1892 M Quarter in BOLTON
Volume 08C Page 376
Lancashire Birth indexes for the years: 1892
ROBINSON William Little Hulton MATHER LH/38/438
Willie Robinson
Born 31/01/? Think B/Day, Son of Nell & Tom Robinson (confirmed by Birth Certificate).
From his picture in the Mather family wedding (Sarah Stocks and John Mather) of Aug 1901, he appears to be about 8.
His mother Ann Ellen was working in Claughton, Birkenhead in 1891, so Willie could have been born or registered in Birkenhead. Also, Ann Ellen married in Port Sunlight in 1891, but 1901 census shows he was born in Bolton. It appears she was pregnant whan married, so moved away from the area for a few years, before returning to Birkenhead. Tom and Ellen were living in Rumworth when William was born.
The family were living at Anglia Grove
Death Notes
The family remembered that Willie died in his teens. It must have been between the 1901 and 1911 census.
The only match is for " William Henry Robinson", born Q4-1888 in Birkenhead (not Bolton) who died in 1906, but this was the son of Samuel and Sarah Robinson (another family). There are no young men registered for "Wirral", so possibly died in Lancashire.
William (Willie) Robinson
William, known as Willie, was born on January 31st, 1892 in Rumworth.4
