  • Notes 
    • My mother told me of two girls, Tina and Joan Clegg
      Unfortunately I don't know whose children they are.
      One was a bit younger than my mother and one about the same age.
      Suspect that they are children of one of Wilson's children - but which one?
      Found that Tina was the illegitimate daughter of Alice Clegg [27/02/2021]
    • In the 1939 National register there is an Ernestina Clegg with Wilson and Annie.
      She was born Ernestine M Clegg in Q2 1919 but mother's maiden name is given as Clegg so don't think she is their daughter. Possibly daughter of one of their daughters.
