Yes,
Odd this isn't it ?
I think that is Mary Birch his wife, my great grandmother.
I do know from old letters sent from England, that Mary was alive untill abt 1929
At 10 Lainson St. Southfields..
Joseph died abt 1897 abt 40 yrs of age is buried in the Putneyvale cemetery.
Alfred Rowland ? Does this mean she is caring for him ?
Alice Mary Murphy m a Jeffrey but can't find anything on them either.
This family and their descendents don't want to be found !!!
Appreciate your efforts,
Marilyn
