In the Amble East Cemetary there is a head stone for a Wm. Robert Claxton and his wife Mary is this the same person? They lived in Gibson street.
Anne, what a coincidence! Robert is actually at home on the 1871 census and he gives his name as William Robert, born Norfolk. The monumental inscriptions in Amble East Cemetery show the Wm Robert family headstone and one for Jonas Cleveland Claxton, master mariner as well. It looks like your family to me. William Robert married Mary Douglas in 1867.
