William Pitt Adams

This is rather interesting: Isabella's and George's son William Pitt Adams was born in Chester in 1884.  Why? 

His siblings, Alice and Sam, were born in (what would become) Bournemouth ahead of him, and his brothers John, Frederick, Leonard, and Reginald were born in Bournemouth after him.  What was Isabella, and perhaps the rest of the family, doing in Chester in 1884?  Could this have anything to do with a possible return to Liverpool after going to the U.S.?  Look how close Chester is to Liverpool.  If this was the case, perhaps Isabella did not know she was pregnant in the spring of the year - I cannot imagine she would have set out to cross the Atlantic to look after her brother if she knew she was pregnant - and William was born after her return, at the end of October.

If I ever manage to find out if it was Isabella that went to America, and if 1884 was the year, then we can connect these events.  Or, there is an entirely different reason why she/they were in Chester at the time... but, what?
