Agnes Shepherd Folker was born on 18 April 1866 at Market Street in Hanley, Staffordshire and was baptised on 11 April at St.John's church in Hanley. She was the fifth of the six children of William Henry and Ellen Jane Folker and lived with her parents for their entire lives without having any occupation herself.
The census of 1871 shows the family living at Havelock Place in Shelton, Staffs. The census of 1881 shows the address as Bedford House in Hanley which was actually the same house. The census of 1891 shows the address as 1 Clarke Street, Hanley which, again, is the same house which was set on the corner of Clarke Street and Havelock Place.
The family are still at 1 Clarke Street in Shelton when the census of 1901was taken but the address entered by her father on the census of 1911form is merely Stoke-on-Trent.
Agnes' father died the following year. She had moved to Devon and was living at "Brookdale" in Braunton near Barnstaple when she herself passed away on 30 December 1957, leaving a will.
