Susanna J Dodgson writes: "Agnes was my father's English grandmother. One daughter had already died when in 1903 she married the Rev Solomon Richard Cambie, whose wife had died leaving him with 2 tiny boys. One boy died soon after Agnes and Solomon married, the second boy was killed on the first day of the Battle of the Somme. In his honor, 8 weeks later his step-daughter named her newborn Maurice, who grew up to be Very Rev Bishop of Norwich, and husband of two, and father of six, including the deputy mayor of Liverpool Jane Corbett, and Hope in Haringay's Rev John Maurice Wood MBE. Out of misery came beautiful lives. Really proud of all of them."
