So she definitely was still alive as I have postmarked postcards sent in 1915 from her daughter in Norfolk. It's an error not corrected in my tree. Yes William had two children, my great grandma Selina and her brother George. Charlotte is not my direct ancestor but I seem to have a box of her keepsakes. I have a photo of a little girl. It could be Selina...or her sister and law Mary Ann Neave. This is the rabbit hole I've gone down. I'll post the photos and see if anyone can help.

My tree istiddled with gremlins...exciting though x

Thats her but she stayed or returned to Bedlington and married my great great grandfather William Cole. I have lots of Edwardian pictures of ladies posted in Norfolk. Probably her family but just in idea who. I have one know photo of her granddaughter Maud at school on a postcard from her daughter ..also from Norfolk. I have an ancestry tree. It's Claassen2. I think it's open.

My connection is Charlotte Slaughter born Drosier, born Norfolk and married my great great grandfather William Cole. Any bells?

I have lots of pictures of Mary, George and their son. I will send. I think the Neaves might have known Slaughters who also figure in my tree and all came from Norfolk. Fascinating. The Coles where from Wiltshire, William Cole born 1852 was born in Shrewton and settled in Bedlington. He was my great great grandfather. Interestingly, his daughter Selina (Sissy) and her family were the only family to ever live in 5 North Terrace at Doctor Put, from building it to pulling it down. Remember it well as a child x

Sorry late to party on this but really think you might be able to help me out. My great grandmothers' sister in law was Mary Ann Cole (nee Neave) living 47 North Terrace in 1911, William's sister I think. My great grandmother and Mary Ann were best of friends and spent a life time in each others company. I inherited a box of photos of various children and I'm trying to figure out who they are. I wondered if you had any photos of William as a child or young man, or of any of the other Neave children. I've lots of Mary Ann and her husband if you are interested.
