1. The Freer family in Ruabon ended at 14 children in all, and during this time at least two of the daughters were sent to live with their maternal grandmother Sarah Moseby in Nottingham. Sarah had been widowed in about 1850 and remarried John Moseby. Mary Ann was the first - at 17, she was living with the Mosebys during the 1871 census employed as a machinist. Ten years later, Lucy was living with them aged 24, working as a seamstress. It is our strong suspicion that Clara was also dispatched to live with Sarah in the late 1880's and this is how she came to meet Frederick Blacknell (born Calverton) in around 1890.
