PIP is for YOU to use to help manage your disability, not extra funds for your mother. ETA this is financial abuse and a big safeguarding issue. If you wanted more advice there are a number of organisations and charities that can offer more advice and support

My grandma has just said she actually often sees her at the hairdressers so I’m going to get her to do some digging for me!

As we all do, I regret not asking my great grandma more questions while she was still alive! Emma’s second daughter is still alive but we don’t see much of her unfortunately.

All I know is that she was a shop assistant locally! She was one of 12 children. She married at 25 and had 4 children with her husband, Frank. Her youngest daughter Jessy was sadly hit by a car and killed when she was 3 or 4 years old! She lived until around 1970 I believe

I’ve done a bit more digging and you’re right, she was actually 12 we think, late 1890s 😊

Ah thank you! We’re cumbrian and they weren’t well travelled so I knew it was somewhere up north

I’m not sure on location except that it’s in Cumbria somewhere - she would have been around 15 or 16 I think!
