Notes for Ethel Annie KNIBBS:

We see Ethel in 1939 living at 75 Tinkers Farm Road, Birmingham C.B., Warwickshire:
Fred A Miles 04 Jun 1900 Maintenance Cleaner Married
Ethel A Miles 04 Apr 1900 Unpaid Domestic Duties Foster Mother Married
Patricia J Rayment 22 Sep 1938 Under School Age Single

Not at all sure of the circumstances here. There is no sign of her husband Shirley, and her son Edwin is living elsewhere. Ethel listed herself as an Unpaidf Foster Mother, so was Fred A miles perhaps a brother-in-law?
