William Robert WINDEATT 1863-
23.03.1863 - William Robert. His mother, Philippa, died when he was only six months old. Who looked after him then I wonder? When he had a daughter, himself, in 1898, he called her Philippa. Tragically, she herself died aged only two.

According to the GRO index a Harriett Ellen ANGUS married in the June quarter of 1910 this time in the Bishop Auckland District. She married an Albert Edward GOULDING. This accords with verbal information received from a descendant about going to visit 'Granny Golding'. A few months later in December two GOULDINGs were killed
