Mr. Ron Gosney's Response

Hi Malcolm
I need a bit of inspiration from you as I don't seem to able to turn up much on this family name.
At St Botolphs Church there were 4 baptisms the same day of children of George William and Louisa and he is described as a Founder [Glass Works] of Wood Square:
14 Oct 1912 baptised were Thompson, James, Ernest and Elizabeth.

The thing confusing me is there is a family in 1901 census who all say born in Knottingley, though I have no baptisms. The 1901 entry living at Waggon & Horses Yard reads:

Elizabeth Noble head marr 42 born Knottingley
Annie Mary Flower daug sing 24 born Knottingley
George William Flower son sing 22 born Knottingley a farm labourer
Tom Flower son sing 20 born Knottingley a farm labourer
Fred Flower son sing  18 born Knottingley a farm labourer
Hannah Flower daug sing 11 born Knottingley
John Flower son sing 9 born Knottingley
Ernest Flower G/son 2 born Knottingley
Annie Flower G/daug 3mth born Knottingley

So where does Emma Noble fit in ?

There is also another family at Headlands:

Thompson Flower 29 with his wife Minnie 28 and Percie aged 6.

Sorry to be so vague.

Kindest Regards
