I'm a bit puzzled by this...
In 1891, William Hesketh is married and the headmaster of the national school at Pulham St Mary Magdalene, Norfolk.
But by 1901, he has moved back to his wife's birthplace of Blackburn, where he is now a traveller in Drystuffs. There is a six year gap in the births of the children.
Why would a headmaster pack in his job to become a commercial traveller? His wife was also a teacher before marriage. The three youngest children were born all over Lancashire, between 91 and 1901.
Am I making too much of this? I have googled without success.
