I know nothing about book but a year or so ago I bought a trinket box from an auction. Inside was a letter from Albert to his mother dated 1908. Alberts wifes name was Lily. Pendle Hill Station is mentioned "Pendle Hill don't seem like Pendle Hill without mother". Names mentioned in letter are Janey, Lizzy, Jack and Twinks. I would love to pass this on to someone.
