or the library which supports the Falls of Schuylkill Branch:

The son William Martin (26 May 1879 - 13 August 1961) was married to Charlotte Beatrice Ethel Jervis (1880 - 1979) Charlotte had been married previously to Charles Nuttall.  The 2 children listed with William and Beatrice on the 1925 Rhode Island Census were Nuttall children who used the surname Martin. In 1930 they had reverted back to the surname Nuttall.

William Martin  47 Beatrice Martin  45
Florence Martin  18 Edwin Martin  16

The 1930 Census indicated William was first married at age 43 years and Beatrice at 40 years, so probably around 1921.

William Martin  52 C Beatrice E Martin  49
Florence M Nuttal  23 Edwin K Nuttal  21

Thank you for the valuable links and suggestions Sandra :D

There is no email address for Leverington Cemetery, a pity; but then they would have extra work answering enquires.  ;)
