Doing a bit of work on the Warkworth cemetery monumental inscriptions last night and came across this one:

Quote:
In affectionate remembrance of William Bond, the beloved son of John & Alice Nesbit, who lost his life by accident at Broomhill Colliery November 26th 1891 aged 13 years.

I would have interpreted his name as "William Bond Nesbit" but as Janwhin has pointed out in the Broomhill Colliery memorial there is no reference to a burial of that name, but there is for a "William Bond"

We don't have the circumstances of his death as the newspaper archive draws a blank for both Nesbit and Bond versions of the name.
