Fanny Wilson 1874-1937
Colin Dixon is Ada Browns Grandson, his mother Ellen Brown married a Dixon,
Born out of wedlock in Coppenhall, Staffs, but lived in a family unit, her father a farm labourer. Married a miner in Staffordshire, then the family moved to Northumberland 1903-1905
Coppenhall stated as her birthplace in 3 censuses, 1911C states Stafford
Coppenhall ~6 k NNW of Penkridge. 2 k SW of Stafford
1874. Born to mother Elizabeth Webb, father William Wilson. Could not find her birth as Fanny Wilson on BMD/FMP or Ancestry .
BUT
Fanny Webb was born Penkridge Jun 1874. I could purchase this Fanny Webb's 1874 b.c to see if it mentions her father
Baptised as Fanny Wilson Coppenhall to William & Elizabeth on 29/4/1874, father a labourer-FMP .
Thus I am pretty sure that her father never married her mother, Elizabeth Webb : there are also births of Edith Webb 1863, Jane Webb 1866 & William Webb Sep 1869 , all Penkridge
