I have hundreds of In Memoriam cards in my collection but this is the first time I have found a photograph of the deceased printed inside. William Charlesworth was born in Honley, Yorkshire in 1811. He was described as a Widower in his marriage banns prior to his wedding to Susan Caroline Porter in 1847. Census records describe his occupation as 'tobacco cutter' and probate records state he left £137 to his wife. At the time of his death, he lived at 336 Wandsworth Road, Clapham. He was buried in Nunhead Cemetery, one of London's big seven cemeteries
Oh, wow! What a great set! That's beautiful!
