Footnote re. John Robert Lidyard Snr.

According to the 1901 census, John Robert Lidyard Snr. was a polics officer,

aged 44 years (birth year 1857), married (second marriage) to Lillian and

living at Ardwick, Chorlton, S. Manchester.

They had six children, Harry, Lillian (Jnr.), Ethel, Richard, Florence and

Sidney, separated in ages by 2-3 years.

The eldest, Harry, was aged 14 years in 1901 so one might reasonably assume

John Robert Snr's second marriage to Lillian was around 1885/6.
