I contacted the poster offline a while ago regarding this but thought I would add it here - Timothy was my Grand Uncle, they brought the girls home to be christened 22 Sep 1922 at Viney Hill. Constance remembered her Grandfather Levi Smith as a lovely man with a sovereign in his pocket!
Timothy was a detective with the railway police and was killed in 1st February 1918 whilst crossing a line between trucks - they moved and he was crushed. I have a copy of the poignant letter that Alice wrote home to one of his sisters.
The family stayed in America.
