Note on Husband: William Arthur WILSON - shared note

Uncle Billy played football for Newcastle United in the 1920's. On the day that he was buried (it would have been his 100th birthday) Newcastle were playing at home and the programme included an article on him - and there was a one minute silence at the ground.

Note on Wife: Sophia Mary 'Fia' O'REILLY - shared note

born

 

Extract from letter from Joan Hunter (Jan 2002)

Born 17 11 1898. Died 4 8 1979. She worked on munitions at Vickers Armstrong Ltd during the First World War. In 1920 she started to serve her time as an Upholsteress. She worked as such until she was 60. It was fantastic because she made all our curtains, pelmets, loose covers, cushions etc whenever required. I still have velvet curtains and pelmets which she made over 20 years ago and numerous cushions!
