This blog contains an article about the life of my great uncle Albert Henry Wilkins (1877-1928). The item below on his funeral was published in the Kentish Independent dated 11 Jan 1929.
People mentioned in the newspaper item are
"Mrs B Wilkins" / "the bereaved widow" : Beatrice Louisa Wilkins nee Tothill (1885-1959).
"mother" : Jane Wilkins nee Cornwell (1851-1934).
"Sister Lizzie and children" : Elizabeth Jane Jenkins nee Wilkins (1876-1953).

"Brother Bert and family" : Herbert George Wilkins (1888-1951).
"Sister Mabel and Ric" : Mabel Barry nee Wilkins (1891-1957). Mabel's husband, Laurence Barry (1887-1942), was known as Ric.
"Sister Ethel and Will" : Ethel Taylor nee Wilkins (1881-1933) and her husband William Taylor (1890-1972).
"Sister Dolly and family" : by a process of elimination, this must be Cecilia Mary Taylor nee Wilkins (1884-1952).
"Florrie (niece) and Albert" : Florence Graham nee Wilkins (1903-88) and her husband Albert Graham.
"Doris and Arthur" : Doris Florence Moore nee Suter (1903-85) and her husband Augustus Arthur Moore. Doris was a daughter of Albert's sister Ethel, from her first marriage (to William Henry Suter).
The long list of those who sent floral tributes indicates that Albert was well thought of by his family and friends.
