No Percy
Fairclough can be found on the 1891 or 1901 census'. There is one
Percy Fairclough who was married, but he was born in Bow, and was a Stock
Jobber. We know this is the wrong Percy because on his 1891 census,
he is shown to be visiting the Hunter family in Knowle with his sister,
Susie. A sister that Stepney-born Percy did not have. |
