Notes:Death Notes
Death certificate shows she died of "Cardiac Failure Suddenly", and "of the labouring classes". She resided in Ardvarness when she died. John McClements, her son, of Ardvarness, was the informant.
After her death, I received some of Aunt Sadie's photographs and one was of a gravestone with this written on the back:
"Mum's
Mum and Dad
Englishtown
Cemetary
Near Coleraine"
The stone says:
"Erected
In Memory of
Samuel McClements
Ballywilliam
Who dies September 15th 1925
Aged 58 years
Also his wife
Annabella McClements
Who died June 20th 1925
Aged 63 years"
Ballywilliam is to the south of Ardvarness.
