William Symonds died 24.09.1877 'accidently killed on the railway'. See Ross Gazette 27.09.1877 for inquest report. He'd been to Ross with his daughter (probably Sarah Hankins, widow). They had alighted the train at Lydbrook and whilst his daughter collected her baskets William, who was stone deaf, started walking on the line without waiting for her. He did not hear the train's whistle and received severe injuries to the side of his head on impact. He was put onto another train and taken to Ross where he was attended to by a doctor but died shortly afterwards.
Jane and William are buried at Goodrich Church.
