John and Mary Smith were my great-great grandparents. Their son Arthur John Smith was Vicar of Levens, Cumbria from 1864-1912. Their grandson Walter Henry emigrated to Port Elizabeth, South Africa where he married on 16 Sept 1908 and died on 23 Oct 1925 aged 47, leaving 3 children Katherine Alicia Phyllis 1909, Arthur Walter 1911 (my father) and Thomas Keightley 1913.

Do you know anything about 24-year old Archibald Alexander Smith of Alexandria,Virginia, who died 29 October 1869 and is buried in the same grave? I am writing a chapter about Birkenhead's links with the USA and am curious about his background.
Many thanks

Ron, not sure if I can add anything, seems to be just a memorial to him, cannot locate his burial entry at St. Mary's. Had a quick look for Virginia deaths but again nothing I could find. Good luck with your search.
Many thanks for looking Colin. Actually went to the Priory today and had a look at the memorial and took some photos of it. I also needed a photo showing the Alabama dock without a ship in it and managed to get it.
