DPP 2/256		Knaggs F M Murder		1935
Thick bundle of letters, statements, photographs and maps - very informative - details later.

An Inquiry into the antecedents of Florence Mary Knaggs (partial transcript).
	She was brought up by her parents and attended Stanghow Lane Elementary School, New Skelton, and was in standard 6 on attaining the age of 14 years when she left school.
	She then went into farm service with Mr James Ackroyd of West Barnby, where she stayed for 18 months.  She then went to Mr Thomas, a farmer, of Great Ayton for 6 months.  Then she worked for Mr Little, farmer, at Upleatham for about 2 years.  Then she went home for 3 months and was a maid at Skinningrove Hospital for 1 month.  She then worked for Mr Hall, farmer, of Marske for 4 months, undertook domestic service in Redcar for 12 months and took a situation in Little Hampton, then returned to Redcar.
	She came home for 6 months when her mother fell ill and remained with her until she died on the 8th April 1932.  She then went to live with an Aunt, Mrs E Scott at Marske, and worked as a day maid for Miss Powell at Saltburn until January 1934 when she went to domestic service at Birmingham.
	Finding herself in an advanced state of pregnancy in April, she went to live with her sister Mrs Olive Wheldon at Ivy Cottage, Carlton in Cleveland, where her child was born on the 18th June 1934.  She went to live with her father and took over a fried fish business at 25 John Street, New Skelton.  The business was not a success and on the 25th February 1934 a fire occurred in the premises - origin unknown.
	Her employers speak of her as being honest and a good worker, and she left her situations of her own free will.  No one has persuaded her to reveal the identity of the father of the child.  There is no evidence of her being of loose moral habits.  She seems of average intelligence but reserved.  There is no history of any major illness.
	The parents of her father lived in the Skelton district all their lives, and the parents of her mother came to the district about 40 years ago.  All are now deceased.  Her parents always lived in the district.  There is no evidence of any mental problem in any of these people.
	Her father, Henry Knaggs of 25 John Street, New Skelton, his sister Mrs E Frazer of 21 Grange Street, Brotton in Cleveland, and the sisters of her mother are all normal, with no insanity in the family.
	The accused has three sisters aged 13, 17 and 27 years (all normal) and 1 brother, an agricultural worker in Canada.  The sister Madge Knaggs of 11 Pearl Street, Skelton was interviewed.
	< These are Winnie, Madge, Olive and Thomas V Knaggs. >

The deceased, Betty Pitts, is the mother of Elizabeth who married Henry Knaggs <born BishopWearmouth ~1799> In the contested will she left £100 to Henry Knaggs, £200 to Henry Guard Knaggs in trust, some other small sums and the remainder (including £1,186 found in a writing box) to Elizabeth and nothing to other sons.
