I think it will be very difficult to trace his birth as there are loads of
William Browns born in London in that year (from St. Catherines House).
St. Catherine's House references, all born in Newcastle T.: Rose Amy,
Apr-Jun 1875, 10b 75; Mary Jane, Jan-Mar 1879, 10b 111; Charlotte,
Jan-Mar 1881, 10b 103.

was also an Upholsterer; and Mary Jane Smithson, age 17, Spinster, of
Percy Street, daughter of James Smithson who was a Tin-Smith. George
Nevil and Jane Ann Pearson were the witnesses. (Perhaps Mary Jane's
mother married again??)
DEATH: St. Catherine's House ref, 10b 93, Jun 1908, William Brown, age
56 @ N/T. I don't have certificate but the age ties up and it's also before
1915 when he was noted as deceased on his son William's marriage certificate.

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
following :-Cremation Coffin, Motor Hearse, Saloon Cars, Press Notices,
Attendance and Supervision, Disbursements, Underbearers, Doctor's Fees,
Removal from General Hospital, Cremation Fees. 2) West Road
Crematorium cremation fees (as just mentioned) for cremation fee,
minister's fee, Tolling Bell and Medical Officer's Fee. No. 604. Cremated
on 19th May 1937.
No urn was purchased for the scattering of the ashes so I presume the
crematorium disposed of them. Possibly died in Newcastle General
Hospital as fees had to be paid for
