Liz, Not sure if you want the image of John DOWSON or not if you could clarify? Also I have downloaded from the 1901 a Herbert WALLIS (aged: 13) living at Norton (then in Derbyshire) with his widowed mother Margaret A. WALLIS and siblings Annie, George, Walter and Alfred. All of the children were born in Sheffield but the mother was born Newbourne, Suffolk. The family were residing at 17 Cockayne Place, Norton. If this is any good let me know.
