Suzy, according to your father, Willie Mason was related to William Henry Leaver (1882-1960), but so far I have not been able to find the connection. Would you please ask your Father if he remembers any details?
John William Mason (1867-?) and Mary Sutcliffe (1867-?) had three children.
Nannie Mason b. 1891
Nellie Mason b. 1892
Willie Mason (1898-1976)
And perhaps this will help your Dad.
James Leaver (1857-1930) and Ellen Unknown (1852-1914) had five children.
William Henry Leaver (1882-1960) married Elizabeth Ann Foster (1882-1966)
John Leaver (1884-1965) married Miriam Starkie (1886-1958)
Alice Hannah Leaver (1888-1947)
Clarissa Leaver (1893-1957) married Haydn Barker (1891-1953)
Ellen Leaver (1890-?)
If your Father knew William Henry Leaver, then is possible that he also knew John Leaver (1884-1965) and Miriam Starkie (1886-1958). If this is the case, then perhaps he will recognise the people in these photos. At the bottom of this page (
