I thought perhaps these details might be of interest though
possiby you may know more about them than I, as there seems little
doubt that the Mrs. [[Sarah Suggate]] mentioned in your letter iss the
wife of the [[William Suggate]], uncle to my step-father. Otherwise I
should not have her Memoriam card.

I had a private rason for looking for the grave of Mrs. [[Alfred
Suggate]] and being in [[Cringleford]], made the journey to [[Yarmouth]] for that
purpose. As, however, it is more than 40 years since being there
before this last visit, I could not remember just where to look.
My early recollection is that it as on the left hand side of the path
up to the church entrance, but this seemed to be quite different from
anything I remembered as a child when I was very often in [[Yarmouth]].
40 years is of course a long time and it is quite possible the pathways
have been altered. Do you happen to know whether this is so? Also
there is the possibility I may be confusing [[Yarmouth Church]] with that
of [[Lowestoft]].

Please forgive me raking up all this past and ancient
history, but having always understood that the Mrs. [[Sarah Suggate]] in
[[Yarmouth]] cemetery was the wife of [[Alfred]] I was very much surprised to
find someone of quite a different name buried there after 50 years.

Yours very truly,

[[Edward W. Goate]], Esq. [Esquire]

99 Caister Road

[[Great Yarmouth]].

[[Norfolk]].

Transcription Conventions

Spelling: Maintain original spelling (including u/v, i/j, and ff). Long "s" should be replaced with a regular "s". Terminal long "i" characters are transcribed as "i" not "j".
Hyphenation: Preserve hyphens (including "=" characters) at the ends of lines.
Capitalization: Maintain original
Punctuation: Add modern periods, but don't add punctuation like commas and apostrophes.
Deletions: Deleted characters and words are tagged with "strike" and then displayed with the line through them.
Symbols: For apothecary and alchemical symbols, use these symbols followed by the meaning of the symbol in brackets: Rx [recipe]; ℈ [scruple]; ʒ [dram]; ʒs [half dram]; ℥ [ounce]; ℥s [half ounce]; ℔ [pound].
For roman numerals following symbols that indicate amount, i.e., j=1, ij=2, iij= 3, v=5, type arabic numeral in brackets following roman numeral: i [1], ii [2], iii [3], v [5].
Line Breaks: Hit return once after each line ends. Two returns indicate a new paragraph, which is usually indentation following the preceding sentence in the original. The times at the end of each entry should get their own paragraph, since the software does not support indentation in the transcriptions.
Illegible text: Indicate illegible readings in single square brackets: [Dr?]
A single newline indicates a line-break in the original document, and will not appear as a break in the text in some views or exports. Two newlines indicate a paragraph, and will appear as a paragraph break in all views.
