This death caused great distress to his son Ronald who lost his faith in
God due to this 'being allowed to happen to such a good man'.
R. Lumley's (if man or if not married) father is Mary Jane Smithson's or
or William Brown's (father) brother-in-law. Could also be Eveline's
blood cousin so may be William Lamb's son-in-law(?).

Furnishers and Motor Carriage Proprietors) of 351 Westgate Road billed
Eveline Brown for the sum of 20 pounds and 10 shillings for the

Attendance and Supervision, Disbursements, Underbearers, Doctor's Fees,

minister's fee, Tolling Bell and Medical Officer's Fee. No. 604. Cremated

No urn was purchased for the scattering of the ashes so I presume the

Was in the army, a green beret (commando), before getting married and
went in that capacity to the Sudan and Israel and the Middle East. Was
5ft 8in tall, brown eyes, dark comlexion, dark hair. Had several different
jobs throughout his life, two being a taxi-driver and a master plumber
(in that capacity he worked a lot for the North-Eastern Electricity
Board). He also used to enjoy working on his cars and doing them up. For
the last several years of his life he was on permanent sick benefit as he
was considered not well enough to work. Used to smoke a lot but finally
gave up due to health problems. In later years he contracted emphysemia
(for the last 15 years of his life), had 3 heart attacks and 2 strokes, one
of which left him temporarily paralised to some degree (at that time he
found it difficult to work his mouth muscles to be able to drink
properly). He died in Douglas's and his home during the night and it
appeared that he'd been trying to reach for his tablets. He had his fourth
heart attack. Roger found him the following afternoon. and had to break
into the flat because he couldn't get in. He was cremated at The Brighton
Crematorium, Woodvale, on the Lewes Road in Brighton near to Bear Road,
on 9 DEC1987. Roger, Douglas, Mummy and myself later sprinkled and
buried his ashes on the family grave at the Elswick Road cemetry.
Roger did the baptismal and endowment work in September 1989 when he
was in the MTC at the London Temple. Susan did the sealing to parents
work as well as the work for his parents in March 1995 in the St. George
Temple.
