Curiously, there is a James Pye 35, living next door with Ellen Allen 40, and her children. (Is this a brother of Thomas Pye?)

    1901 census

    Richard Jacques 6 Grandson   Lancashire, Rainford
    William Jacques 5 mo Grandson   Lancashire, Rainford
    Henry Metcalf 32 Boarder Coal Miner Lancashire, Rainford

    In 1901 Mary Glover was still living in Hardings Row with her (by then) married daughter Mary. Noticeably, her husband is not present at the time of the census.

    Also the census gives Flint as Mary Glovers birthplace. I suspect that this is a transcription error.
