William Needham

Notes:

Harry was a bit of a washout, his only interests were Pubs, up and down Manchester Road, mainly Albert Pierpoint's place "Help the Poor Struggle", He stated more than once that he hated children, saying they should be seen and not heard. A strange confession for someone who fathered eleven children of his own. In 1925 when his wife and children were put in the Workhouse, he went to live with his wifes Parents who took him in, in preference to helping their own daughter. (1)
