Invoices for the Funerals of Olive Hart's grandparents, John and Elizabeth Spencer in 1920 and 1925 respectively. They lived at 533 Warrington Road, Spring View.
It's interesting that the cost of the Carriages went down, from 33/6d to a pound each. Perhaps M&Ws had gone over to motor cars from horse-drawn carriages in the meantime?

I worked for M&W in the '60's, for a short while...Take note of the phone No....Phone No 1. That was on all the old agents wall plaques.
