BURIAL

NOTES

Walter James Watts presumably married Sarah Day and they probably lived somewhere in the North Walsham area. They had at least one child, then Walter went to Canada. Sarah went to live with Frederick Kettle and they had children. Perhaps it was after Fred's death that Walter returned from Canada and he and Sarah moved back together.
