Harriet was the eldest surviving child of Robert and Emma Derbyshire (nee. Alexander), she married Frederick Thomas Simmons in Pancras (Westminster), where she worked. Not sure if she worked on St. Pancras station in the buffet bar. She died in 1909, her brother Robert Alexander Derbyshire Snr. died in 1912, and Frederick married his widow, and sister-in-law Elizabeth Derbyshire (nee. Smith) the mother of Stanley Simmons who became mayor of Wigan.

Cliff, I've also found out that Emma's sister and brother-in-law, (Harriet's Aunt and Uncle) moved to Liverpool and then to Lower Ince. Their name was Brabben but through time was converted to Brabbin, and the family lived in Manley Street, Lower Ince.
