Calkin, Thomas
Youngest of 3 children born to Henry and Mary Ann
Occupation in 1901 census declared as "Potters Slipmaker",
living with his mother at 139, Normacot Road, Longton, Staffs.
In the 1911 census Thomas (aged 26) is listed living with his brother Henry's family at the same address.
His occupation is listed as "Slip Maker Potters".
In the 1921 census Thomas (aged 37) is listed living with his wife and four children at 2, Bagnall Street, Longton, Stoke On Trent.
His occupation is listed as "Assistant SlipMaker" working at Collingwood Brothers, Potting Manufacturers in Clayton Street, Longton.

Calkin (nee Kirkland), Annie Lilian
In the 1921 census Annis (aged 29) is listed on her husbands return as above.
But there is another daughter listed. Listed as Annie Kirkland b.1914 aged 6.
Perhaps she was born before they married and took the mothers surname.
         Born: c. 03.1891 registered at Chorlton cum Hardy
         Died: c. 12.1960 Aged 69, registered in Stoke-on-Trent


Quite oddly, although this family had nine children, the family line appears to end here.
Seven daughters, a boy that died very young, and for the only likely supplier of a line, Thomas,
I can find no children listed.
Nine Children
