Fanny and Jack Nixon were stranded in England during World War One. After the War they returned to Canada and resided in London Ontario. They had five children: John Harper (Jack) born in Canada; Hilda Mary, born at 10 Auburn Avenue, Bredbury; Marion, born at 10 Auburn Avenue, Bredbury; Dorothy, born in Canada; and Dorothy's twin brother who died. All these children married and had two children, with the exception of Jack, who had one son. Four of these children have married and have at least two children each. Patricia, her mother and brother and grandma Hilda, visited UK in June 1966, when they visited the families of Nellie and Alec Shaw (Wyril's daughter). Hilda, Marion and Jack Nixon, then in his nineties, visited families in England, and the place where they were born, in the late 1970s. Right: Fanny and John robert, thought to be at the time of their wedding.

It is interesting to note that Fanny's father, John harper, build two rows of houses both named Auburn. It is possible that Fanny and Jack were living in one of his houses. The A560 Stockport Road leads to Hyde. It is about two miles, three kilometres the Knott Lane area, where Mary, Agnes and Henry john lived.

In January 2003 Marion Keron, the last living child of Fanny, was living in her own home and is a mind of family history. Marion's son has provided many documents for this site.
