Emily Florence Weaver grandfather was William Hanbury Sparrow (manufacturing Iron) the Railways in Wolverhamton he invented the Pump for the Steam Train to pump water out of the Mines he built The London North West Railway London to the North West he got the permission from Parliament to do this. He was huge throughout the Kingdom. Erecting New Mills and Forges in every direction he and all the old concerns were dated from this time, so he was a big part in the Industrial revolution. He and the family lived at lived at Albrighton Hall Staffordshire for eight generations at least and Pen Court Staffordshire. |

Other daughter was Beatrice F and 3 sons Oswald J, Philip H L & Humphrey. 1881 Census has her as Eleanor F born 1877 Wolverhampton 1891 Census has her as Eleanor F b 1878 Tettenhall Staffordshire 1901 Census has her as Elinor F b 1878 Wolverhampton Staffordshire 1911 Census has her as Elinor Frances age 31 Tettenhall Staffordshire Does this mean we have the wrong Weaver Family? Although this was the only family with a son named Humphrey Weaver who we assume married your Clytie Wheeler. |

I'm not sure when they were taken but might be family photos?
