Charles died in Preston, but was attended by Dr. J. R. Beaven of Galt. He is also stated to have worked in a shoe factory and, as both his death registration and the cemetery transcription state, Charlie is buried in St. Clements Roman Catholic Cemetery in Preston. His death registration also states that he died of pulmonary tuberculosis. We have no information as to whether Albert and Charlie worked in the same shoe factory. |
