  10.   Beaven (nee Laidman), Jill. Interview by Peter Swaine, September 2008. Transcript.

    When discussing details of Grandfather's treatment of Frank, Jill commented that Uncle Bill had been beaten for making mistakes when learning the cornet and that Florrie had also been used to physical abuse when he came home drunk. This suggests that his violent behaviour was not confined to the baby.

    I wonder how far the syphillis from which he finally died ten years later was already affecting his mind. Insanity and syphillis are linked and even though he was observed by the prison doctors, they may not have encountered the triggers to his violent behaviour.
