Introducing Ada, James and William

Today I uploaded static pages for three more of my great grandparents.  The life of my great grandfather James George BAILEY.  Born in the poor urban slums of manchester in the 1880s he lost his father when he was ten. He lived in poverty his whole life in what one observer described as part of the "submerged strata of these islands". The other two were my grandmother Ada Ethel BLOXHAM, daughter of a roadman and her husband William Thomas TEW, a sailor.  It is interesting to see another naval ancestor, however this couple were from Warwickshire an exciting new area to investigate the history of. As always if anyone has any information on these individuals please drop me an email or leave a comment!
