Annie Amelia was the eldest child of Richard & Ann, born in Twyford where her father had been working as a Signalman on the Railway for 2 years, earning 18/- week. She has no recorded occupation but may have helped her mother keep the busy coal yard, and later the shop, running for the men of the family.Mary Elizabeth Walker was the second daughter of Richard and Amelia. Aged 5, she was living with her Aunt Tarry, a Laundress, in The Marsh, Pangbourne & she never appears with her own family in future census records. She first marries Benjamin Smith. He was a carman to a Coal merchant (possibly her FiL) and they lived in Pangbourne with their 2 boys. Benjamin was KIA in 1917. Their youngest son, Reginald, had already died aged 6 in Pangbourne and his brother, Percy Benjamin, died after his mother's death, in a Japanese PoW Camp in Thailand in 1943. Percy's address was given as 17, Berkeley Rd, Newbury which had been the home of his Uncle Montague. In 1920, Mary married William Edward Charles, an older widow with children, of Dorset Rd, Kennington, but he died 4 years later. In 1925 she married Francis Joseph (Frank) Cullinan. Frank worked for the Postal Services as a Postman then cleaner in Newbury. Mary died in the Royal Berks Hospital & her husband died 8 years later aged 49 in the Sanatorium, Abingdon, Berks. Frank, whose burial is recorded in the NRC Burial Records is not listed in the index of graves. He may have been interred in his wife's grave without his name being engraved.
