Personal Notes:
Edith was a very private person and was very different to her other sisters. When she left school she worked as a dressmaker at D Hill Carters in North Shields. At the time it was a very large store and was situated on the comer of Howard St. She married Charles Reid in Cockermouth in 1941. Edith did not seem to be keen on having children and agreed to adopt. Irene was 7 years old when she went to live with Edith and Charles. Her parents had died and then she had been brought up by her Grandmother. Sadly when her grandmother died, Irnen ended up in a children's home. Charles spent a lot of time at sea as he was a merchant seaman, and Edith and Irene did not get on. Edith sent her back to the children's home when Charles was away. When he returned, he chatted it over with Edith and they decided to give it another go. It was successful.
