To conclude the grave occupants, Charles Thomas, 19 months, is the son of William and Caroline.

1950s map Oliver Place where I was born and lived until early 60s before it was demolished for the new market
The houses were 2 up 2down kitchen only big enough for a gas stove and a cold water sink. Outside toilet only.
No electricity , gas mantles only in downstairs rooms.

As an aside can anyone tell me why some house numbers are not included in the Wilmers 1916 street directory?
(possibly no-one in to answer )

Noticed at number 6, John Owens, probably the same who married Caroline.

Previous directory question.

Hi my sister and I visited Flaybrick cemetery today, after taking with one of the friends of Flaybrick they are so helpful,
.
Their is indeed a headstone but only has Albert and Caroline, and there children on it,
I can only conclude tha Caroline’s family purchased the headstone, in 1973.
We can add a memorial vase to put Albert Sarah and baby Elsie on.
Lovely cemetery
