<p>Before her marriage to William Matthews, Agnes had travelled down from Keswick to Pendleton to find work. She became a domestic servant and lodged with a friend from Keswick, Jane Chadwick, who was already living in Pendleton. In the 1861 census, she and William are both lodgers with the Chadwick family. They were married the same year.</p><p>She had 10 children all of whom survived. By the 1871 census she had 5 children. </p><p>My grandmother was the penultimate child, born in 1878. The last child, Frank, was looked after by my grandmother. I think both father and son would come for meals with Emma when she was married. I don't think Frank got married.</p>
