• Notes

  Notes from Ian Browness: 1. A "Feather-Dresser" (sometimes called "Feather Wife") was a person who cleaned and prepared feathers for sale. 2. After James M's premature death, Amelia could well have been expected to remarry, but managed to support the substantial household herself through her own industriousness (managing a sweet shop) and the like efforts of her children and (in the case of George Arthur BROWNESS for a time), grandchildren. 3. The spelling of Amelia's surname is inconsistent in the official records: sometimes SERLE and other times SEARLE. [4,5] (Medical):Full description: "Asthenia due to bed sores following fracture of the right femur caused by an accidental fall in the yard at 6 Herbert Place, Devonport on 30th October 1923" [4,5]
