Life as a miner, or as a cotton spinner, is not for Austin. He has
ambition. Negotiating his way through an inter-denominational
marriage, he marries Emma, a non-Catholic. After leaving Farnworth,
a small mill town on the edge of Bolton, Austin's career as a steam
engineer takes the family on a journey through the cotton towns of
early twentieth century Lancashire. A dozen years later, they have
three children. Annie, the eldest, and Thomas, the youngest, are
quiet and well behaved. Edward is different. He's a rascal, always
ready for a bit of fun, and frequently willing to break the rules.
Family life, and dealing with a recalcitrant son was challenging
enough, but at least it seemed manageable. Alas, the onset of war
was about to disrupt everything.
