I found the following transcript of a monumental inscription in Arkengarthdale, North Yorkshire, England: In remembrance of Jane CARTER wife of William CARTER of Booze Bank, Arkendale, who d 20 Apr 1879 aged 30yrs. Also Phillis Margaret their dau who d in infancy. 4 line verse. Also of Phillis Margaret their dau who d at the age of 3yrs. Also of the above William CARTER who d at Leauville USA on 16 Sep 1884 aged 36yrs & was interred in the Evergreen Cemetery, affectionate husband & dutiful son, a faithful brother. The last record that I had of William before this date was created when he registered the death of his wife, Jane Carter nee Thompson. She died 20 April 1879, at the age of 30. Her occupation is listed as "wife of William Carter a Lead Smelter,' and her death was registered by the widower, William Carter. Her place of death and William's residence was Booze, Arkendale. She died of phthisis, a contemporary term for tuberculosis. So some time between April 1879 and Sept 1884, William lodged his 3 surviving children with family and emigrated to the United States. Any suggestions of where to look for further information would be most welcome. Thanks. Louise Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
