Calkin (nee Langford), Mary (affectionately known as "Mam Mam")
The 1901 census rather interestingly has Mary as born (and I quote) :
Where born = France Calais British Sub.
But I don't presume this to mean a submarine just off Calais,
but rather in Calais as a British Subject.
It is reported that Mary was born as Marie Le Langton but changed her name to Langford when moving to England.
The 1921 census has Mary (aged 41) living with her husband and nine children as above.
On this entry it does state she was born in Calais, France.
