    3. Hi Colleen Here is some info for starters. Link for Henry Cole's Death Notice: http://ancestry24.com/search-item/?id=C2149451171 Link for Henry & Emma Cole's headstone http://www.eggsa.org/library/main.php?g2_itemId=1276701 Link for Joseph Cole's headstone (Ist son of Henry Cole & May Jane Gillespie born in Co. Armagh) http://www.eggsa.org/library/main.php?g2_itemId=1276704 Link for older brother (Joseph Cole's) headstone. The inscriptions that he was a survivor of the Birkenhead & a Royal Horse Guard are suspect and very likely fictitious. I have researched extensively with negative results thus far. http://www.eggsa.org/library/main.php?g2_itemId=1276707 I have not yet found Mary Jane's grave wherabouts.
