Re. William Smailes deceaced
This is a card regarding Williams son at Amble East cemetery, surprised his father ended up at Amble West, but this card from my album confirms the connection. Williams sister Isabella only reached the age of 16, and he had lost both his parents by the 1901 census and was head of the family aged 21. Three of his siblings emigrated to Canada shortly after, including Fred's Grandfather, James DH Smailes...(Dodds Hume)
