Haven't been on this site for a while so just catching up. The monumental masons who did the work on the Amble Memorial were my Greatgrandfather, Grandfather and probaby my GreatUncle (I think he was working in the business in the 1920's). To say that they were perfectionists is an understatement, as a kid growing up in the 1960's at the end of Granda "Jim's" career everthing was still checked, double checked and checked again. They couldn't afford to make mistakes with a reputation depended on it. What I'm saying is that spelling on the Memorial would be how it was drafted of that I'm pretty sure. Blame the drafter not the Mason - I've got family honour at stake here (LOL!).
